Aim XLog Compact Data Logger

The Aim XLog is a compact, lightweight, and waterproof data logger that records everything you need from your vehicle. With direct ECU connection, advanced GPS, built-in inertial platform, and wide expansion options, the XLog offers the same data-gathering capabilities as the Solo 2 DL, only in a smaller, screenless format that makes it perfect for motorcycles, single-seaters, or vehicles with limited cockpit space.

Why Choose the XLog Data Logger

The Aim XLog data logger is essentially a Solo 2 DL without the screen: offering the same logging power, precision, and expandability in a smaller, lighter package. For riders, racers, or anyone working with limited space but still demanding full-scale data analysis, the XLog is the perfect solution.

It provides a powerful solution for anyone who wants to capture and analyse their performance data without needing an on-board display. It integrates GPS lap timing, ECU data logging, acceleration and gyro measurements, and expansion support in a rugged unit that’s smaller than the palm of your hand.

GS-Dash Features

The compact dimensions of the GS-Dash make it particularly suitable for powerboats. Manufactured in aluminium with edge-to-edge glass and metallic push buttons, the Aim GS-Dash is robust and fully waterproof.

It displays racing data from the boat's ECU, from the accelerometers, GPS and any custom sensors, and it features connectivity with the XLog with minimum effort.

The GS-Dash can perform some operations via a pop-up keyboard, including:

  • Enabling/disabling the backlight
  • Selecting the nearest track to race
  • Checking GS-Dash firmware version
  • Deleting the data stored on the XLog

XLog Features

The XLog calculates and records: 

  • Lap times
  • Sector times
  • Vehicle position and speed
  • 3D acceleration and gyro 
  • ECU data via CAN, K-Line or RS232 connections.
    (You can select the protocol of your car/bike among thousands of pre-defined protocols, or easily develop your own).
  • Digital RPM input from the primary of the coil (150-400V) or from a square wave (8-50V) when no ECU connection is available.

In addition, the XLog features a second CAN for connecting an external device or Aim Expansion, meaning you can add a Lambda Controller, analogue inputs, and a professional motorsport camera for enhanced functionalities.

Inertial Platform in XLog

GPS & Inertial Platform

  • GPS Technology: Tracks position and speed at 25Hz using four satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) with <0.5m precision.
  • 6-Axis IMU: Records 3D accelerations and angular velocity at 100Hz, allowing in-depth analysis of braking, acceleration, and chassis behaviour.
  • Lap Timing & Sectors: Automatically recognises track layouts, samples laps and sectors, and provides all the raw data for Race Studio 3 analysis.
GS-Dash backlight colour options

Display, Configurable Pages & Lap Times

The GS-Dash can be backlit in one of eight available colours; it also features an ambient light sensor that makes brightness and contrast ideal in all light conditions.

The GS-Dash can also swap among pages showing lap times and data in a customisable way to suit your needs. Choose the data and create pages displaying up to eight fields in each. You can visualise the rolling time or static or predictive lap time (as an absolute value or as a difference vs. the best lap.)

Alarm LEDs are managed in a very flexible way. You can choose the situation that generates the alarm, the LED behaviour (blinking frequency and colour) when the alarm appears and the conditions for its switch off. A warning message can also be shown.

XLog connects with Race Studio software

XLog Connectivity

The XLog is designed to connect seamlessly to your vehicle and your data analysis workflow:

  • ECU Connection: Supports thousands of predefined CAN, RS232, or K-Line protocols, or you can build your own protocol via CAN builder.
  • Second CAN Option: Configure for Aim expansions, or connect additional sensors and third-party CAN devices.
  • Wireless: Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for fast, cable-free data transfer.
  • USB-C & Memory Key: 4GB internal memory plus a removable 16GB USB-C key for quick access.

Compact, Durable Design

Measuring only 72.3 × 65.3 × 30.3mm, the XLog is compact to fit in even the tightest cockpits. Its rugged, waterproof housing ensures reliable operation in all conditions. With a built-in rechargeable lithium battery (up to 10 hours) and support for an external 8–16V supply, the XLog is built for trackside convenience.

Analyse XLog data with Race Studio

Analyse with Race Studio 3

All data logged by the XLog can be downloaded wirelessly or via USB-C, then reviewed in Aim’s professional Race Studio 3 software.

Analyse lap times, sector times, GPS maps, accelerations, engine data, and video (when paired with a SmartyCam 3) to improve your performance and understand your vehicle in detail.

Histograms, XY view, diagrams, maps, and videos recorded with SmartyCam 3 are automatically synchronised for better comparison.

Expand your GS-Dash & XLog with ACC3, Data Hub and sensors

Expand Your System

The XLog features a second CAN for connecting an external device or Aim Expansion, meaning you can add a Lambda Controller, analogue inputs, and a professional motorsport camera for enhanced functionalities, on top of the 8-piece kit you will receive standard.

Integrate the Data Hub and ACC3 that come in the kit to sample data coming from temperature, pressure, suspension and other sensors; you will also be able to integrate a SmartyCam 3, sold separately, taking your data to the next level by incorporating synchronised video footage to overlay the data recorded by the XLog data logger onto your footage post-session with Race Studio 3, as well as the LCU-One Lambda Controller which captures air/fuel ratios and exhaust data for tuning and performance optimisation.
