Take Snapshot
Section titled “Take Snapshot”Save everything iRaceDeck currently sees from iRacing — the full live telemetry and the session info — to disk. Each press writes two timestamped files to the Output Folder: a .json file holding every telemetry variable plus the session info (the raw data), and a companion .md report you can read at a glance — the session identification, the running order and the on-track order with each driver’s car number, laps completed, and location, and the player’s own telemetry. It is a developer / diagnostic tool: attach the files to a bug report, or use them to check what iRacing was reporting at a given moment.
The mode only reads data the plugin already has and sends nothing to iRacing, so it never affects the sim. A press while iRacing isn’t running (no telemetry available) is skipped with a warning in the plugin log; a successful save is logged as well, including the file paths. There is no feedback on the key itself.
Details
Section titled “Details”- Method: Local file write (saves telemetry to disk) — no iRacing command
- Dial: No rotation support
- Default binding: No keyboard binding
- Telemetry-aware icon: No
Setting: Output Folder
Section titled “Setting: Output Folder”The folder the snapshot files are written to. Leave it blank to use the default — an iRaceDeck\telemetry-snapshots folder in your user home folder (for example C:\Users\<you>\iRaceDeck\telemetry-snapshots). Any folder path works: environment variables such as %USERPROFILE% and a leading ~ are expanded, and a relative path is resolved against your home folder rather than the plugin’s own folder. The folder is created if it doesn’t exist.
Files are named telemetry-snapshot-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-mmm.json and .md — local time with millisecond resolution, so presses in quick succession normally get their own files rather than overwriting the previous one.
