GSP9700 Series Road Force Measurement System Operation 4. Balancing a Wheel 75
Changing Tag Numbers
The Changing Tag Numbers is the means of identifying each tire/wheel assembly
during the StraightTrak® Lateral Force Measurement procedure. When the first
tire/wheel assembly is ready to be tagged, the only option will be to tag it as tag 1.
The second tire/wheel assembly will default to tag 2, however you may change it to
tag 1 by rotating the control knob and then pressing “OK.” The third and fourth
tire/wheel assemblies may be tagged by accepting the default (the next sequential
tag) and pressing “OK,” or by rotating the control knob to a previous Changing Tag
Numbers before pressing “OK.”
A measured and tagged tire/wheel assembly can be replaced by mounting a different
tire, doing the lateral force measurement procedure, and then tagging the new
tire/wheel assembly with the same number as the assembly that is being replaced.
The new tire data will replace that of the original tire that is being replaced.
NOTE: If a tire/wheel assembly is tagged as a number other than its
default tag, information for the previously tagged (same
Changing Tag Numbers) tire/wheel assembly will be deleted.
Example: Four tire/wheel assemblies have been measured
and tagged with their default tags. Tire/wheel assembly 2
showed a significantly different amount of lateral pull (refer to
“Show Details,” page 77), while the other assemblies were
all very similar. If a different tire was mounted on rim 2 and it
measured similar lateral pull to the other three assemblies, it
would be desirable to include it with this set instead of the
one tire that has a significantly different amount of pull. This
fifth wheel/tire assembly could now be tagged as 2,
eliminating the original measurement for tag 2.
