Above image:LC-8200A GPS Vector Speedometer
The LC-8000A series are the GPS-based speedometers which measure speed and distance of moving objects with high accuracy. Since the pulse update cycle of 100 Hz and delay time of 5 ms or less, the LC-8000A series make it easier to perform various driving tests such as low-speed driving, acceleration and braking tests. Vector speed measurement has become possible with the LC-8200A. Compact and light-weight system enables easy installation on a vehicle.
Even under bad GPS signal reception, standard IMU supports precise and stable measurement. A wide range of optional functions are available for various measurements and tests. By connecting the LC-8000A series to a PC, settings of GPS and measurement conditions, logging of speed, distance and other measurement items are enabled.
Highly accurate measurement
Stable measurement
Using IMU, the LC-8000A series enable stable measurement which is not affected by its satellite acquisition state.

Functional classification of Software
Data Logging Function
LC-0830 Expansion logging
LC-0831 Acceleration/deceleration test
LC-0832 Fuel consumption test
LC-0833Track display
Only the LC-0830 can change sampling frequency of time-series recorded data. (Sampling frequency of the other optional software: 100 kHz)
Some items can
be recorded when the optional software is installed. (See the
specification table for details.)
Multiple testing function
LC-0830 Expansion logging
