4.3.7 Air Temperature Sensor
Dynatest provides an optional ambient temperature sensor for the FWD/HWD. If your unit is
so equipped, FwdWin will monitor the output of this sensor and automatically record the
information in the data file for each test point.
Right click the Temperature applet and chose “Ambient Temperature”.
Verify that Model and Serial
Number are correct.
If your unit is not equipped with
an air temperature sensor, then
you should select “None” here.
Analog is for probes connected to
the CP15.
The two fields, V1 and V2, are the
calibration figures for the
temperature sensor. Note that
these values represent the
predicted voltages across the
sensor terminals (wires) under two
temperature conditions: 0 degrees
C and 100 degrees C (Note:
Centigrade units are used and
displayed here regardless of the
units specified (Metric vs.
US/English) elsewhere in the
setup facility).
If a temperature sensor is connected and working properly, the current voltage and measured
temperature is displayed in the Current Reading fields. This allows the operator to quickly
assess the accuracy of the sensor and determine if a calibration is necessary.
All fields below “Current Reading” are of interest only when a calibration is performed (see
13.2 Air Temperature Sensor Calibration).
