  • 2.2. Calculate and enter component rates/ratios and parameters for input sensors within system math channels
  • 2.3. Enter sample rates most suited to particular data logging channel
  • 2.4. Conduct system check in accordance with regulatory, manufacturer/component supplier and team requirements
3. Retrieve data
  • 3.1. Use team instructions and procedures to identify data retrieval requirements for specific purposes
  • 3.2. Follow data retrieval process in accordance with specifications and directions
  • 3.3. Verify data retrieved, where appropriate, by using reliable alternate or optional processes
  • 3.4. Identify variables and potential for inaccurate results
4. Analyse data
  • 4.1. Compare all sources of collected data
  • 4.2. Analyse data using mathematical processes
  • 4.3. Analyse trends and patterns in data including non-conforming results outside of the predicted outcomes
  • 4.4. Investigate possible reasons for trends and patterns
  • 4.5. Identify potential performance enhancement solutions
  • 4.6. Report problems with the required data and/or the operation of the equipment to appropriate persons
5. Present data
  • 5.1. Identify end users of statistical data and their preferred format
  • 5.2. Represent data to meet the needs of the end user
  • 5.3. Document appropriate recommendations
  • 5.4. Present recommendations with supporting data
6. Clean up work area and maintain equipment
  • 6.1. Clean, maintain and prepare equipment ready for future use and store in accordance with manufacturer/component supplier specifications and team requirements
  • 6.2. Remove waste material according to team procedures
  • 6.3. Diagnose faults in acquisition systems and components
  • 6.4. Document unserviceable equipment and faults and take appropriate action in accordance with team procedures

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations
apply safety requirements, including the isolation of equipment and the use of personal protective equipment
follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment
achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards
correctly configure data acquisition, acquire, analyse and present motorsport data on a minimum of two (2) occasions. At least one (1) of these must be an appropriate event, and cover each of the following:
vehicle data
weather data
circuit data
driver/rider characteristics
retrieve data within relevant team quality and timeliness standards
work effectively with others
modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment
follow team data security and confidentiality procedures.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.
Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
The following resources should be made available:
team requirements
access to data acquisition system and associated material and equipment
information on work specifications
organisational procedures
safety procedures, regulations and quality standards.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
