How will I run a test with a water brake dyno?
All absorber or brake dynos (water brake, hydraulic pump, eddy current, either chassis or engine only) tests are done as a “sweep” test, where the engine goes through its full RPM range and the DataMite or Black Box system records the data at a very high rate. When the test is done, then the software will report or graph the data at standard RPM increments, like every 100 or 250 RPM, whatever you select. This is much more accurate and efficient than trying to stabilize at various RPM steps and then record data, then go to the next RPM step. Check the other FAQs here about controlling the dyno, and section 4.3 in the user manual at this link: PDFs/DTMMANL7.
