1)  Engine Expo Trade Show in Novi, MI, coming in October   We're exhibiting at the Engine/Testing Expo in Novi Michigan from Oct 22-24.  This is the first year for this trade show, and expect to see lots of automotive and their supplier engineers, in booth E226.  Be sure to register to attend ahead of time at their website by clicking on the link below.

2)  PRI Trade Show, Indianapolis, Coming in December   We're also exhibiting at the Best and Biggest racing products trade show in the world, the Performance Racing Industry trade show, now back in Indianapolis.  We're in booth 5512, and the dates are Dec 12-14.  Be sure to register to attend ahead of time.

3)  Blowby Recorder now with RPM Input   We've released a major new enhancement to our Blowby Recorder.  Now it can record RPM with blowby so you know at what RPM the blowby is occurring.  Currently we are using a magnetic sensor.  Epoxy a sensor on a shaft, damper, wheel, etc. and mount the magnetic sensor within 0.1" and you're all set.

-------------------------------------------

4)  New Steer Sensor   We've released a new, less expensive steering sensor.  You install this sensor inside the vehicle, out of harm's way.  You fabricate a bracket to press the sensor's rubber wheel on the steering wheel shaft.  Because it just rubs against the shaft, if you get to the end of its travel, it just slips.  With a price of just $119, it is a real bargain.

Steering Sensor DT3-STR (3 turns, bracket not included)  
Install with rubber wheel against steering wheel shaft to measure steering angle.

5)  New Inductive Pickup Clamp Proves Better   We've released a new style of Inductive Pickup clamp for reading engine RPM via a plug or coil wire.  Feedback we're getting from this new, larger clamp is that is it significantly better at eliminating stray noise spikes.  This is a real convenience and accuracy improvement for chassis dynos.  With chassis dynos you always are working with different styles of vehicles, engines, and ignition systems.  

If you are having problems getting a clean engine RPM with your Dyno DataMite, this new style clamp DTM-IPUC may help.

6)  FAQ on Troubleshooting Noisy Engine RPM on Dyno   Because of some of the new options we have for recording engine RPM, we wrote up a FAQ on your options for getting a clean engine RPM for your DataMite logger.

for the FAQ (frequently asked question) on how you would answer this question.
