tool will automatically perform a smoothing function to the grouping
that was selected. Each time the mouse clicks on Smooth it will
smooth the selected grips a little more.
Groups of Grips are selected using the
keyboard and mouse. In this example notice
some of the Grips are orange and a group of
them is red. Once selected, they can be
manipulated to create the desired driveshaft
curve. This is effective in that you can fine
tune precise portions of the driveshaft profile that you want. It
typically takes a little practice to get the hang of selecting groups of
Grips.
To select a group of grips, place the mouse pointer over one end of
the Grips you want to start with. Select
Crtl > left mouse click on the
starting point. You should see the Grip change color to red . Next
Shift > left mouse click the end point of Grips you want to select.
Now the Grips between those two points are selected and will
appear red which indicates they are now a

. If you want to
unselect the grouping for some reason, press the > Esc key. At this
point in time there is no Undo option once you move them.
Create Profile is applied after importing driveshaft data
from Racepak. The driveshaft curve or curves that are
imported are utilized to create the series of Grips that make
up a Profile. A Profile can be created from either a single set
of driveshaft data or from multiple driveshaft curves. This is another
impressive feature of the Profiler as it can use several passes of
driveshaft data and create a single profile by averaging all of them
together, it’s that easy! From that point you can customize the
profile as you wish.
On the far right side of the Profiler

displays the imported runs that have
been imported along with the current
