I am in the process of setting up my dyno - when I look at a run without any filters applied, I am seeing a lot of noise on the load cell data to the point that when I apply the filters I am shocked it can make any sense of the data.  I have made some changes to the load cell mounting method and this has improved the data, however, I do not know what good looks like for unfiltered load cell data - please can somebody share a run with unfiltered data to help me understand if I actually have a problem or if this is typical?  Thanks.

Hi, the noise varies quite a bit from one dyno to the next. Low inertia, direct connected, single cylinder typically gives a lot of noise while high inertia soft coupled are smooth.

Results should look good with filtering between 3 and 6. 3 is default, and probably 80% of the setups are ok at 3. Post your unfiltered graph and describe the dyno system and I can evaluate.
