Chapter 6: Overview- 2 Main Windows
DYNO Window (cont.)
Record Settings (cont.)
Mode: If multiple flywheels are used (up to 3) then selecting the number will update the inertia value used in the power
calculations, this allows for quicker operation than re-entering the new inertia value each time dyno flywheels are
changed/engaged. The inertia values are set in the menu option “setup/hardware”.
If Dyno type selected is a ‘Brake’ (in the ‘setup/Hardware’ menu) then this
fact is shown here instead of the rollers shown above for ‘Inertia’ mode.
Status: Displays if “Recording” DYNertia3 is gathering data from a Run, “Ready” when waiting for a Run, “Gauges” if
‘Gauges on’ or “Calibrate” if ‘Speed to RPM’ button are pressed (this indicates that the tacho/speedo dial gauge is
operational for reference but an actual test Run cannot be performed in these modes)
DYNertia3 Hardware Lamps (DYN): Lamp is green when associated DYNertia3
hardware has been detected and communication established, red if not. If this is
the case, firstly check that the unit is plugged into the computer correctly and
powered up then confirm that the “Setup/Communication” menu has the correct
port configuration.
Weather Watch Lamp (WW): Lamp is green when the optional ‘Weather Watch’ (automatic weather station) hardware
is connected into the PC’s USB port, has been detected and communication established, red if not. The lamp will ‘blink’
as it updates the weather data.
Load Control System Lamp (LC): Lamp is green when the optional ‘Load Control’ hardware is connected, has been
detected and communication established, red if not. This unit is used for closed loop load control (Eddy current retarders
directly or PWM controlled devices) and for servo based throttle motor control.
Torque Sensor (TS): Lamp is green when the optional ‘Digital Load Cell Amplifier’ hardware is connected, has been
detected and communication established red if not. Not available at time of this manual.
OBDII Scanner (OBDII): Lamp is green when the optional ‘OBDII Scanner’ hardware is connected, has been detected
and communication established red if not. Not available at time of this manual.
