DYNertia3 Quick Start (Inertia- Chassis type)
Basic Software settings (default)
Shown below are the software settings (menu choice ‘Setup/Software’), see the main DYNertia3 manual for any details.
Leave the settings at default (except multiple monitor if possible), but take the time to see what options are available
–
Note:
The option “Multiple Monitor Support” is strongly recommended. Having two monitors allows additional functions.
Inertia Mode Graph Smoothness:
When testing on an inertia dyno this filtering value determines the level of
smoothing applied to the data. This has the effect of displaying data that is not so wildly changing due to small cyclic
variations in engine firing and dyno mechanical tolerances.
Quick Test of Dyno Speed Sensor
Before performing testing it is advisable to do a quick function check. Open the main ‘DYNO’ Window and observe the
RPM gauge while vehicle is turning the dyno (at this stage it will show the shaft RPM at the sensor, not engine).
It is often worth a quick look before dyno testing to check for a steady and accurate reading as this will show the RPM
ratio setup is correct and the speed sensor is operating.
At this stage of setup the gauge will just
be displaying dyno shaft RPM, not
engine RPM as no drive ratio has been
specified
It may require you to rescale to observe
the reading. See ‘Note’ below.
The software will not display at very low
RPM, so drive at reasonable speed.
The RPM/Speed button makes the
software use either units of RPM or
speed (e.g. kph).
Note:
The scales of the gauges used during actual testing can be altered in the menu option ‘Scales’ (when analysing
existing runs they are automatically scaled).
Note
: In inertia dyno mode the ‘Torque’ and ‘Power’ displays do not show data during a test, these are for analysing
data after a test.
