GLOSSARY

Version 2 WinPEP 7 User Guide

Glossary-3

Load Control: Load control is a way to apply

consistent braking (or load) to the

dynamometer. Load control is often used to

simulate a load on the vehicle, such as climbing

a hill. Load control can be used to hold the

vehicle at a set speed or RPM.

Load Control Set Point Edit: The area in which you

manually enter the load control set point.

MakeRun Screen: The area of the MakeRun screen

where the gauges are displayed.

Negative Horsepower: If drum deceleration was

measured and graphed, we would be viewing

negative horsepower. Negative horsepower

allows you to view the performance of your

vehicle when it is not under load.

Novice Mode: A simplified version of WinPEP 7

which allows a more basic approach to the

software.

Pan Mode: Move the graph around inside the

window.

Pendant: The user's interface with the

dynamometer. The pendant lets you control the

WinPEP 7 software from your vehicle.

PID Coefficient: PID coefficients are used to control

the responsiveness of the eddy current brake

and the proportional air brake.

Plug Fires Every: This is the number of degrees the

crank rotates between RPM triggers.

Power: The ability to accomplish a specified amount

of work in a given amount of time.

Primary Inductive Pickup: A small "clothespin like"

clip that attaches to a wire to pick up a signal to

indicate engine speed. An RPM pickup is

required if you want to view torque graphs. The

primary wire inductive pickup senses RPM

pulses from the coil.

Radio Button: A radio (or option) button lets you

select from options or turn options on and off.

Rescale: Resets the scale of the graph to standard

minimum and maximum values.

ReZoom: Returns the viewing area to the last

unzoom magnification.

Roll On: Wide open throttle acceleration from low

RPM to maximum RPM without changing gears.

Round Gauge: A type of gauge that uses a needle to

point to the current value of a data channel.

RPM: Engine speed measured in revolutions per

minute.

RPM Pickup: A clip that attaches to a wire which

picks up a signal to indicate engine speed.

SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers.

Sampling: Sampling is the act of recording a run to

a file.

Secondary Inductive Pickup: A small "clothespin

like" clip that attaches to a wire to pick up a

signal to indicate engine speed. An RPM pickup

is required if you want to view torque graphs.

Selection Ring: A white ring that appears around

the currently selected Load Control gauge.

Set Point: The value used in controlling the

application of braking load to the dynomometer.

Load Control will apply apply a variable amount

of braking to hold the value you have configured

in your load control settings.

Sizing Handle: While in Edit Mode, clicking on a

gauge will display white sizing handles used to

resize the gauge.

Smoothing: Smoothing takes the raw data and

removes the "noise". There are six different

levels of smoothing detail in the graph.

Status Bar: The status bar, located at the bottom of

the MakeRun screen, displays current run

messages and information.
