Telemetry Tool

How to send data from Telemetry Tool to another computer

This is they way e.g. to send data from the driver to the Engineer, or if you are running the game and the Telemetry Tool on different computers.

Here are the steps.

Initial settings

  1. First make sure you have a working Telemetry Tool installation on the driver side, i.e you have all plugins installed and you are receiving full data.
  2. Install the Telemetry Tool also to the "receiving" computer and make sure it works properly.
  3. If you are on two different locations, you might want to use VPN tunnel, i.e. something like Hamachi to acreate the tunnel for simplifying on getting data through.
  4. Now find the IP address of the receiving computer. You can do that e.g. in the Telemetry Tool via 'Tools' - 'Show my IP addresses'.

Set up the redirect

  1. On the driver's side, setup the UDP/TCP redirect. Set the IP address and port of the "Engineer" into the 'Settings' - 'Network Settings' dialog. Remember to also enable the redict.
  2. If you use iRacing or LMU, set the redirect to use TCP, as packets from those games are too large for UDP.
  3. Now setup the reciving and and make sure, if uses the same port as you set for the driver. Also if sender uses TCP, make sure the receiving end is also using TCP.
  4. Now restart the Tools on both ends, start the game you will be using and if all was setup properly, the "engineer" will start receiving the data.

ACC special settings

  1. First make sure the Telemetry Tool works with local ACC and that you receive the broadcast data (i.e. there are driver names on the trackmpa.
  2. Find out the remote/engineer's IP address, this is below the remote_ip_address.
  3. For driver, create a new .bat file in the Telemetry Tool install directory. Name this .bat file e.g. forward_to_joe.bat.
  4. In the above .bat file set content to be ACC_SharedMemory_Relay_x64.exe remote_ip_address remote_port
  5. On the receiver, setup the Broadcast data to use the driver's IP address (in Remote IP) and set the correct uid + pwd. Also make sure the relay port is the same as the remote_port above.
  6. to run the system, the driver start ACC + the relay with the .bat created earlier and the engineer starts the Telemetry Tool. If all is done properly, then the enginee should receive the data.
  7. With these settings, the driver send the Shared Memory data via UDP and the engineer's Telemetry Tool will connect directly to ACC's broadcast data. This way the driver does not have to run the Telemetry Tool.

iRacing, LMU and rF2 special settings

  • For these games, setup the Redirect protocol to be TCP. This is because the packes created by these games might be too big for UDP, thus they get dropped.
  • Also remember to set the listening protocol on the receivers end to use TCP.
