Also race render will allow you to pull in data and have gauges displaying that data. Of course, you have to synchronize it, which I don’t know how to do yet.
If you look at this video, you will see that the speedo is about 1/2 sec out of synch with the video, for example. Lap times and speed are from race render using the data from gopro file.
If you can sync all clocks on the devices, should be to able align data, sensors, and video. I’m sure this is a setting some where.
Racerenderer has two sync tools located under the input window. Basically open it and drag the timelines around until they match up. If it’s a short clip just line up shift points with the audible shift from the video. If it’s longer start by lining up the timecode then adjusting based on some sort of audible event (like I said, I usually just use shifts points).
Thanks. Will try to figure it out.

Aim racestudio software isn’t compatible with a Mac?
@Racer_Rick12 unfortunately not, unless you dual boot. I have seen it done, but it isn’t as common. The good news is that the software isn’t super computationally intensive, so you can have an older laptop run it, albeit perhaps slower.
I have a thinkpad t430s from 2013 that runs it fine.
With a quick check this morning, found new name brand pc’s for less than $300, some under $200.
MacOS (in current form) is not likely to happen, not worth the development effort. I believe iOS was considered, so that might make it more feasible to run on Mac laptops and desktops if they go ahead with the planned porting to a new architecture.
So like Eric pointed out your options are dual boot or virtualization.

I want to try and measure oversteer and understeer by subtracting actual steering from calculated steering. Is the gyro sensor in mychron5 good enough to do this. Any direction as to math channels needed to acheive this??
Here is a link to an Aim article on writing math channels. It contains a formula for calculating over & understeer. The article was written before RS3 but RSA should not have changed a great deal.

Hi- I have what seems to be a simple question, but I haven’t been able to figure this out. I am sharing some specific data with my tuner, and want to clip or truncate my test session down to a specific portion. ie: I capture an acceleration run from a slow corner down a long straight. I just want to share this piece of the session for his feedback. rather than giving him 15 minutes worth of data and telling him to look at some specific point. Can I trim or export a specific portion from a full data session- the same way you’d trim a video clip? Thanks, and thanks for all the great info in this thread!
Yep you should be able to export a csv from a specific lap.
In fact @DavinRS even has a video about it.
You can…the question is why you’d want to. If it is mychron data simply tell him the lap and corner, and he can with 2 clicks pull that up.
I’m with Eric on this one.
You can just select a single lap in Race Studio, and even break that lap down into segments by channel, so I feel like exporting is asking yourself to do way too much work for a feature that you already get out of the box.
@DavinRS, is it possible to identify through RS data analysis if chassis is too “tied” or presenting overgrip?
Sometimes we compare two sessions, looking at the speed trace or RPM trace at corner exit and if it’s slower to rise/accelerate, that’s a good indication the kart is struggling more off the corner and could be over gripped. You sort of need to combine that data with the driver’s feedback on how the kart feels, as “slow to accelerate” could be a few different issues.

TJ pretty much nailed it there.

Not sure if it’s been discussed in this thread but comparing data with other drivers (especially) in the same class seemed to help the most. The ultimate is if you can convince a better driver (same weight) to drive your kart.

Thanks for this! I’ll be taking advantage of the info and asking questions!
