Abstract
A data acquisition module that monitors the operation and duration of the operation of an electrical vehicle device, such as starter motor, and is readily mounted at an inconspicuous location in the vehicle. The data acquisition module stores each activation of the vehicle device and its duration in an electrical erasable programmable read-only memory to be downloaded at a future time. A microprocessor and a bank of EEPROMs are provided where the activation count is stored in the microprocessor and the duration is stored in the bank of EEPROMs. The address of a particular EEPROM is the location where an event duration is stored.
