What does the "rate" field in the CAN mapping area do?

Does it set how often the value is attempted to be refreshed?
Or does it set how often the value is logged (when logging is active)?

Hi,

It's how often the current value is logged, or broadcast via telemetry.

It is independent of how fast RaceCapture receives the data over CAN, since RaceCapture does not control how fast external systems broadcast data.


The exception is RaceCapture's OBDII engine, setting the rate affects how often channels are requested (OBDII is a request/reply protocol), and optimizes the read sequence based on the sample rates you choose.

Hope this helps,

OK Perfect. That's what I thought.

Thanks!
