PC for analysis and storage. The included 'DYNertia3' software package handles all the functions required for dyno control, setting up, saving runs, correcting for atmospheric conditions, filtering, displaying data, printing, overlaying and analyzing multiple runs. -
Page 5: Dynertia3 Control Unit Mounting
Secure at the DYNertia control unit to prevent movement of the cables. DYNertia3 software can even be operated by remote control if required (wireless keyboard or a PC ‘page turner’ as one option), tests can be started and stopped and new files even created (names incremented). -
Page 6: Basic Wiring
Do not connect anything to the “RPM Adapter” input, including the ‘RPM adapter’ (if you have one) Please refer to the main DYNertia3 Manual (found under ‘Help’ menu) chapter called ‘Inputs- Using’ for full wiring details on connection of optional data acquisition devices or ‘RPM Adapter’. -

‘Linked’. Once ‘Linked’ DYNertia3 will automatically find the hardware in future when it is connected, powered and the software is started. If you plug DYNertia hardware into another USB port you may need to re-link. -
Page 8: Two Main Dynertia3 Windows (Dyno / Graph)
When test Runs are visible on the graph we refer to them as ’traces’. Note: The DYNertia3 Window does not size itself to the PC screen, if you wish you can adjust your PC screen resolution to best suit (Program Window size is1024 x 768) www.dtec.net.au... -

DYNertia3 Quick Start (Inertia- Chassis type) Basic Hardware Settings As an example of a basic test ‘Run’ we will test a motorbike, we will do the test in 4 gear and save the results for future reference. This example Dyno has roller of 1000mm circumference and an inertia factor of 4.7 kg/m² (your dyno’s inertia value can be calculated by pressing the ‘MOI”... -

Basic Software settings (default) Shown below are the software settings (menu choice ‘Setup/Software’), see the main DYNertia3 manual for any details. Leave the settings at default (except multiple monitor if possible), but take the time to see what options are available–... -
Page 11: Displaying Engine Rpm (One Method)
Press Enter and your setting will be transferred to the ‘Record Settings’ panel for “Current Ratio” (in the ‘DYNO’ Window). That’s it! DYNertia3 now knows the engine RPM for any speed driven in the gear just used. You can ‘teach’ other gears also if you want to do testing in multiple gears. -

DYNertia3 Quick Start (Inertia- Chassis type) Observing the engine data during a test The available windows to view data in depend on the fitment of a second monitor. In inertia dyno mode the ‘Torque’ and ‘Power’ displays do not show data during a test, these are for analysing Note: data after a test. -

DYNertia3 Quick Start (Inertia- Chassis type) Assessing test results- Signal issues OK- Traces go back and forth. This can be from ignition interference etc. but the image above is lacking any large ‘spikes’ that this usually creates. Likely the engine RPM differs to roller RPM in the data so this implies an issue i.e.
