The test will prompt for the use of ProFilter. If used, there must be a good engine speed signal for
it to work properly. If ProFilter is used, the test will automatically set the correct parameters based
upon the chosen engine speed signal source. If a perfect engine speed signal is not possible,
ProFilter should not be used.
ProFilter is a special WinDyn feature that will take high speed recorded
data and post-process it to provide smoother data with even increments
of engine RPM on the data printout. See Chapter 3 in the WinDyn Users
Guide for more information on ProFilter and how to use it.

Upon completion of the test, let the vehicle coast down to a stop and let it cool down as
necessary before shutting off the engine. The Eddy Current absorber will automatically
assist in stopping the vehicle. Wait for the roll to stop before getting out of the vehicle.

Press “Shift F3” on the computer keyboard to open the saved data file dialog. Select the
desired file. Use the WinDyn Stored Data Viewer to analyze, print, and plot the data. See
Chapter 4 in the WinDyn Users Guide for more information on the Stored Data Viewer.
