Import your Race Technology files (.run)

Prerequisites

• Software: Race Technology Analysis Software (Windows) — optional, the .run file is ready to use
• Compatible logger: DL1, DL1 Sport, DL2, DASH2, SPEEDBOX
• Output format: .run

What is the RUN format?

The .run format is the native binary format of Race Technology loggers. It contains GPS data, accelerations measured by the built-in IMU, and optionally engine data if the logger is connected to the ECU.

Race Technology loggers are popular in motorsport for their value and ease of installation.

Step 1 — Retrieve the RUN file

From the SD / CompactFlash card

1. Remove the memory card from the logger
2. Insert it into your computer
3. The .run files are at the root of the card

From Race Technology software

1. Connect the logger via USB or serial
2. Open the Race Technology Analysis Software
3. Download the session from the logger
4. The .run file is saved in the project folder

Step 2 — Import into Brake Point

1. Log in to app.brakepoint.io
2. Click Import a session
3. Select your .run file
4. Brake Point decodes the binary format and extracts the data

Extracted data

Data	Source
Speed	GPS
GPS position	Built-in GPS module
Lateral acceleration	IMU (accelerometer)
Longitudinal acceleration	IMU (accelerometer)
Engine RPM	ECU (if connected)
Sector times	Sector beacons

Limitations (experimental support)

• ECU data: engine data (RPM, gear, throttle, brake) is only available if the logger is connected to the vehicle’s ECU. GPS and IMU data is always present.
• Accelerations: the built-in accelerometer measures lateral and longitudinal G-forces, useful for analyzing braking and cornering.
• Sectors: if your logger recorded sector times, Brake Point uses them for lap splitting.
