Engineer's Clipboard™ allows the race engineer to capture the set-up and pit lane parameters and driver comments in a computerized database which is coupled to the sessions, outings and laps run. Connections are provided to the PI telemetry system to automatically provide end-of-lap information. Once the settings and lap results are captured in the same database, analysis of cause-and-effect can be performed. Printed reports are provided to approximate the traditional engineer’s clipboard notes with the exception that the laps are opened up if more notes are made than will fit in the natural space. Not only does the system provide the possibility to relate inputs and outputs, but the collection of comments and changes is optimized for use on a pen computer and if the computer is part of a LAN, the data is available to any computer with access to the database.
