Session Identifier Macros#
Session Identifiers (aka names) help you identify recorded sessions.
ATLAS provides formatting macros to fill in parts of the identifier automatically.
You can include them in the identifier when configuring a recorder.
Tip
These macros can also be used in Session Details (metadata).
Time Codes#
These codes format the session identifier from the time of recording:
| Macro | Description |
|---|---|
%y |
Year (Short form - 2 digits: 00 to 99) |
%Y |
Year (Long form - 4 digits: 0000 to 9999) |
%m |
Month (2 digits: 01 to 12) |
%d |
Day of month (2 digits: 01 to 31) |
%H |
Hour (2 digits: 00 to 23) |
%M |
Minute (2 digits: 00 to 59) |
%S |
Second (2 digits: 00 to 59) |
Example
%y%m%d%H%M%S = 210730140617 at 2021-07-30 14:06:17 local time
Session Details#
These codes incorporate standard session details (metadata):
| Macro | Session Detail |
|---|---|
%a |
Car |
%c |
Circuit |
%e |
Engine |
%r |
Driver |
%n |
Session Number |
%t |
Race/Test |
%O |
Unit Data Source (populated automatically) |
Parameter Data#
To extract parameter values, use ${param}$, where {param} is the parameter identifier or name.
This is commonly used together with text conversions — to spell out driver initials, for example.
Example
$NDriverInitial1$$NDriverInitial2$$NDriverInitial3$_$NFOMRacingNo$ = HAM_44
If the parameter is not present — for example, while configuration is being processed — the macro will not be expanded.
