Load Control: Load control is a way to apply
consistent braking (or load) to the
dynamometer. Load control is often used to
simulate a load on the vehicle, such as climbing
a hill. Load control can be used to hold the
vehicle at a set speed or RPM.
Load Control Set Point Edit: The area in which you
manually enter the load control set point.
MakeRun Screen: The area of the MakeRun screen
where the gauges are displayed.
Negative Horsepower: If drum deceleration was
measured and graphed, we would be viewing
negative horsepower. Negative horsepower
allows you to view the performance of your
vehicle when it is not under load.
Novice Mode: A simplified version of WinPEP 7
which allows a more basic approach to the
software.
Pan Mode: Move the graph around inside the
window.
Pendant: The user's interface with the
dynamometer. The pendant lets you control the
WinPEP 7 software from your vehicle.
PID Coefficient: PID coefficients are used to control
the responsiveness of the eddy current brake
and the proportional air brake.
Plug Fires Every: This is the number of degrees the
crank rotates between RPM triggers.
Power: The ability to accomplish a specified amount
of work in a given amount of time.
Primary Inductive Pickup: A small "clothespin like"
clip that attaches to a wire to pick up a signal to
indicate engine speed. An RPM pickup is
required if you want to view torque graphs. The
primary wire inductive pickup senses RPM
pulses from the coil.
Radio Button: A radio (or option) button lets you
select from options or turn options on and off.
Rescale: Resets the scale of the graph to standard
minimum and maximum values.
ReZoom: Returns the viewing area to the last
unzoom magnification.
Roll On: Wide open throttle acceleration from low
RPM to maximum RPM without changing gears.
Round Gauge: A type of gauge that uses a needle to
point to the current value of a data channel.
RPM: Engine speed measured in revolutions per
minute.
RPM Pickup: A clip that attaches to a wire which
picks up a signal to indicate engine speed.
SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers.
Sampling: Sampling is the act of recording a run to
a file.
Secondary Inductive Pickup: A small "clothespin
like" clip that attaches to a wire to pick up a
signal to indicate engine speed. An RPM pickup
is required if you want to view torque graphs.
Selection Ring: A white ring that appears around
the currently selected Load Control gauge.
Set Point: The value used in controlling the
application of braking load to the dynomometer.
Load Control will apply apply a variable amount
of braking to hold the value you have configured
in your load control settings.
Sizing Handle: While in Edit Mode, clicking on a
gauge will display white sizing handles used to
resize the gauge.
Smoothing: Smoothing takes the raw data and
removes the "noise". There are six different
levels of smoothing detail in the graph.
Status Bar: The status bar, located at the bottom of
the MakeRun screen, displays current run
messages and information.
