Windows can eventually detect a high data stream from the DAQ (and previously from the Weather Station) and decide that it is a MOUSE, it will install the Ballpoint Drivers and will block the access from other applications. The cursor in the screen can become crazy as it will interpret the data from the DAQ …
The Capacitive Clamp (Red) (CAP-1) is envisaged to be used mainly on spark cables (High Voltage from coil to the spark). It senses the High Voltage peaks and sends them to the DAQ. In general it is good for single cylinder engines, Drawbacks: it may get random pulses from other cylinders There is also a …

Well. this shouldn’t be our duty as those are 3rd party sensors, but as it is a common request, these are the general rules:
During the installation / setup process it is common that some settings are not correct which can lead to ‘absurd’ readings (very high or very low). It is important to do this check list: After the installation: It may exist differences specially in high power cars and specially on twin roller dynos High Power Cars …
The provided USB-RS232 adapter has a default latency which results too slow for realtime data displaying. It does not affect to the recording but makes the visualization very slow. There are two options: FTDI Port Manually setting the COM Latency to 1 ms (advanced)
Something that causes many misunderstandings to new users regarding the SP1 configuration is the confguration of number of teeth and prescaler due to the fact that the SP1 does not syncrhonize these settings with the PC (the SP1 will not send this information during the connection process and then the PC will not be able …

Sure!. The general rule for the Low-Pass-Filter (the one that is set in seconds) is that the filter size shouldn’t be bigger than the test duration / 10 (the acceleration part). As a general rule an inertial dynamometer shouldn’t produce acceleration tests of less than 5 seconds (at the suitable gear), then the minimum filter …
MSCOMCTL.OCX and SPView41.OCX errors A few customers reported errors when installing the Software at the point when the installer is registring some OCX controls. For instance the MSCOMCTL.OCX there are two versions, in old Sportdyno V3.5 we used the version (6.01.9782) where in current Sportdyno versions we use a more recent version (6.01.9846) and for …
Each power supply comes with 3 inputs: PWM (2 pins), CAN (4 pins) and Analog / Potentiometer (3 pins). In general only one can be used at a time for the speed control (PWM or CAN), with the exception of a safety potentiometer or brake pedal that can work in parallel as a safety control …
Inertial tests: it is common that the longer the test (higher gear) the more power that the engine can develop, this happens for two reasons: Braked tests: Both issues are considerably attenuated when performing braked tests of a same duration. Additionally, In twin roller dynos there is also another source of differences, which is the …
