1) Dyno DataMite v4.2B Released  We've put a lot of work into updating and enhancing our Dyno DataMite software and hardware based on user feedback.  We are now ready to release the new v4.2 B.  Here's a list of some of the major improvements:

  1. Enhanced Dyno Controller features, including:
  2.     Hybrid Control Mode, where RPM is held constant at start of accelerating power run, then control switches to more stable load control.
  3.     Stand Alone Control Mode where the Controller does not need to communicate with the PC to run tests.
  4.     Several new improvements and settings for Load Control and RPM Control.
  5.     Many of the Control Parameters can now be modified right on the Current Readings screen for faster testing.  See picture below.
  6.     You can construct a Controller Schedule to step through through various RPMs. This is ideal for doing break ins. Enterprise Edition only.  See picture below.
  7. Each test file now also contains Configuration and Preference settings. This allows much easier restoration of these settings should they get corrupted.
  8. You can include an additional data channel for display on the Main Screen. You can also specify colors for these graph lines.  See picture below.
  9. You can specify a Min and Max RPM and the program will automatically start recording data at the Min RPM and stop recording at the Max RPM, and display the exact time between these 2 RPMs. This is ideal for inertia dynos. Enterprise Edition only.
  10. You can specify a "red line" for either or both of the round gauges on the Main Screen.
  11. New Preference settings allow you to eliminate most all messages between power runs.
  12. You can reorder the position of data columns in the reports. For example, Corr HP could come before Corr Tq.
  13. Much more.
