The Brake sequencer is pretty simple, it is just Brake % vs time. You can for example start with 10% brake, then after 10 seconds change to 20% then after 30 seconds change to some other percentage etc. It is actually more a demonstrator for how a brake plugin can be created.
Super!
Is there a writeup about the use of the sequencer?
thanks
@matteozanusso, for warmup you can do Manual mode, or RPM vs Time. You can also use the sequencer.
On the coasting:
In practice it does go into Coasting mode when you press the clutch, even if you did not reach end RPM. If you reach the end RPM it is just a bit faster to turn off the brake; it turns off immediately while it otherwise uses the PID to regulate it off. You don't need to manually force the Coasting, it will still work.
Hi,
maybe I missed a functionality, or a way to setup it, but I would like to setup the brake to do some "road simulation" or warmup before the dyno runs.
I was thinking about an option to use "brake control" with roller rpm, or speed, instead of engine rpm.
the second thing I am missing, is an automatic coasting after a run: I know it could be somehow difficult to setup, but sometimes I miss a run by not going over the "end run rpm" due to little wheel slip. Sometimes I can manually force the coasting, sometimes not.
thanks
ooops, should have read more. found it . Thanks. I have your system ordered. looking forward to it.
I have an option on my current software that i like. I don't see it in your software. Possibly looking in wrong place. Again very impressed on what I've seen so far. Getting ready to make an order.
The option i have is :
i can set an start road speed and an end road speed. Once end road speed is reached dyno will not let engine rpm go any faster. when i slow down below start speed i can automaticly increase speed and start another run as many times as i like
What about the ability to automatically control the throttle based upon an graph similar to the rpm curves.
I currently use a servo motor to operate the throttle and would be great to be able to link into the yourdyno system and automate once the run button is pressed.
Thanks,
Dave
Good morning, I bought the xencelabs remote that you recently put on youtube, and it is fantastic !!
I would like if you could add these 2 options to Hotkeys:
- Hotkey "DISMISS" in RUN WINDOW
- Hotkeys to Brake Control in the RPM SETUP MENU
In this way I can do all the work with the remote, now to be able to calibrate RPM with brake load I need to do it with a mouse, it would be great to be able to do everything with the remote.
Apart from doing that when we calibrate RPM with brake load, when I re-calibrate RPM to another car, make by default the brake load is at 0, because now it keeps in memory last brake apliend to calibration rpm, and many times when I go to calibrate rpm I have the car running and when I open the rpm menu, it applies a sudden brake and if it is a car that is not very powerful and car before was with more power, its to muche brake sudenly and it stops the car, because I don't have time to release the brake slider on menu. So if you can make DEFAULT brake on RPM SETUN to be 0, will be very happy!
Thank you
@kessel-one I was about to pull very same request.
I run the dyno in both direction, so I invert calibration quite often.
Plus I use auto MOI calculation, so I get different numbers between cars.
No matter if I do vehicle specific folder that I can re-open when needed, to speed up... every time I change vehicle I have to check/change calibration direction, engine type in environmental power correction, re-do a MOI test if I've not saved previous result somewhere in a txt file... basically, doing every set that's in basic Option menu every time, because they're not tied to Run options in any way.
It would be very very very appreciated to get all the options back while swapping car with an alredy dynoed one, and calling back appropriate session folder... like overriding basic options...or vehicle-specific options under Run options... there would be two ways to get it.
What about the ability to do warm up or run-in loading?
For warmup could Pre-program say 2500 -3500rpm 'blips' say every 2 seconds
This could then further lead onto the ability to load a target RPM v Time excel sheet and then effectively run a lap of the track on the engine dyno
It is great that I am able to measure fwd and rwd cars on my dyno. Reversing brake calibration is a vehicle specific option though. Could this be stored and selected within gear ratio/rpm setup menu so that I do not have remember changing this in options menu?
Thanks for considering...

Hi,
Units for aux channels can be set individually (lambda, pressure, etc) without restrictions, any mix is possible. Just type in the unit you want and adjust the Aux setup to fit (translation between analog voltage in and the sensor value in your chosen unit).
Feature wishlist
- Would be useful to be able specify the units for power, torque, pressure, air fuel and temp individually rather than just metric or imperial
- Adding Logo to the sheets
- Manual range setting of graph scales
Unit Selection
Cheers

I’ve asked Jostein in the past and he said he’ll work on it. A bit different approach though, I’ve opted to have an option to make markers, so you can compare a specific point in the graph.
for instance max numbers could be only 10hp apart, while somewhere in the rev range it could be 50hp. So you can add a marker at that point of the graph clearly showing the difference between the two (or multiple)
