DST Multi Source Recorder#

A Multi Source Recorder automatically uploads data from available sources (Ethernet Telemetry, Ethernet Wirelink, or RF Telemetry). This ensures sessions use the best available data source at any time. Typically, Ethernet Telemetry operates in the pit, RF Telemetry on track, and Ethernet Wirelink offloads missed data.
