SOFTWARE
RecRead
Record and Visualise with your
computer your engine or vehicle
testing
RecRead Software has been developed
to be a simple to use software. You will
be able to visualise and record live your
fuel consumption related to the vehicle
speed and distance.
This Windows based software can be
installed on any computer or laptop.
A USB serial input connected to the
DL4044 Light gives you the link to the
software and the configuration menu.
Application
• Specifically made for testing
application for the automotive
industry.

How to calibrate your distance factor ?
Data export
Sensor administration
Configure as per your AIC fuel flow meter the pulse rate
Exp. AIC 4008 VERITAS will be 800 ppl
Configure as per your vehicle odometer specification or
calibrate yourself the exact distance driven. (see hereafter
how to do this specific calibration)
Transfer the factors settings to the Data Logger i.e.
DL4044 Light.
Eventually reset completely the memory of the fuel and/or
the distance totalizer.
Choose your drive and directory where the CSV data shall
be stored.
Furthermore, choose your posting time period, between 1
and 60 sec.
Your data is ready to be read and stored into your
computer.
First find a street or highway section where the distance between two points is well known:
i.e. 10,0 km
Set a figure into the distance factor field: i.e. 10000 ppk (pulses per kilometre).
Reset the distance totalizer to zero.
Drive your 10,0 km point to point exactly. Important try to drive this distance to a reasonable speed and constantly (i.e. 50 km/h).
Stop and read the distance driven: i.e. 9,876 km, and correct the initial factor to 10124 ppk and restart your test distance to the same speed.
After testing a second time you shall be knowing now what the exact ppk your odometer is giving.
Notice also that if car or truck tires are worn after 20’000 km or if you change tires, start the distance calibration procedure to compensate the wheel diameter change.
Visualisation of results
The basic documents are created under a .csv (Comma Separated Value) and can be opened with any
spreadsheet software. By using the designated software you can create and display as per your demand the
document you like to have.
