After you have performed your desired dynamometer tests, you need to take a look at the information you received. If you have a manual recording system you should calculate and transform the torque and rpm readings into horsepower numbers. If you’ve got a manual electronic data collection the next step will be to print out the data.
On personal computer equipped dynamometers you should name the new data file and enter all the relevant data about the test run you have ended.
There are software packages for your dynamometers that grant you the possibility of entering virtually any parameter you want in certain windows. This is very handy, as you can store important information in a structured data base, making it more accessible. If you dont own a system equipped with sensors that capture the weather conditions you should write them down as soon as you finish the dynamometer tests.
It is very important to choose an appropriate output report format for reviewing the dynamometers data. When you examine the data received from you dyno, you should discard any information gathered during periods of rapid rpm change. You should instead concentrate on the...
