Simulation Battery Voltage:
Voltage specification for the motor check. The voltage can be set
between 4 and 8 volts, covering motors for 4 to 7 cell battery packs.
RPM Detection:
Detection of final RPM can be set for modified or stock motors. If
you select "Stock", the final RPM detection is not as sensitive; the
measurement takes a bit longer. You can toggle between the two
with the [Space] bar.
Measure Auxiliary Data:
If you want to measure auxiliary data such as friction, internal
resistance and EMF, enter "Yes" here. Toggle back and forth with
the [Space] bar or with the keys [Y] and [N].
Display Auxiliary Data:
Entering "Yes" here displays the auxiliary data; "No" displays the
entered data for brushes, springs, etc. Toggle the display directly
from the program with the keys [Ctrl] + [D].
Moment of Inertia:
The moment of inertia of the flywheel should be changed only if you
use a different flywheel. The moment of inertia is used for the
computation of the motor's characteristic curve. An erroneous value
would produce falsified motor data. The value for the supplied
flywheel is 45.0 x 10
-6
kgm
2
.
The value for the armature, 4.2 x 10
-6
kgm
2
, corresponds to a model
car. If you measure a test motor with a larger or smaller armature,
the moment of inertia must be recomputed.
Table Step:
For viewing the motor data in table form, the values for the torque
and current steps can be set.
Diagram Data:
A total of eight different characteristic curves of a motor can be
displayed diagramatically. Select the curves with the [Space] bar;
selected curves are marked with an asterisk "*".
Choose Printer:
Move to a printer with the cursor keys and select with the [Space]
bar.
Printer Port:
Select one of two printer ports.
RS232 Port:
Select a serial port (RS232) for data transfer from Pro-Master to
your computer.
