Does the AutoDyn take atmospheric conditions into account?
Every AutoDyn ships with an automatic atmospheric measurement standard. Our sensor box constantly measures ambient air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. It uses its collected data to provide real-time power correction factors such as Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). You can view both uncorrected or corrected data through WinDyn. The calculation of horsepower or the accuracy of the AutoDyn is not dependent on the location or conditions during a test. The performance of the internal combustion engine, however, is sensitive to atmospheric conditions, especially air density and air temperature. To compare power measurements taken at different times or places, it is necessary to compensate for differing atmospheric conditions. What is the difference between manual load control and computer load control Although it is always possible to just apply a percentage of load using manual input, the AutoDyn is equipped with a c
