You will notice a few things about the graph screen:
•
The horsepower curve is drawn with a
thick line
; the
torque curve is drawn with a thin line.
•
The peak horsepower and torque values are marked on
the graph with vertical bars.
•
The peak horsepower and torque markers correspond
to the values seen on the Horsepower/Torque sum-
mary screen (Figure 32).
•
The graph has moveable cursors for HP and TQ. The
cursors move left and right using
and
.
•
The HP cursor rides along the HP curve, and the TQ
cursor rides along the TQ curve.
•
As the cursor moves, the “RPM,” “HP,” and “TQ” val-
ues are updated to reflect the current cursor position.
HP vs time
The “HP vs time” menu entry provides you with a graph of
horsepower throughout the run.
This is not the optimal graph for analyzing horsepower. It will
show artifacts around shiftpoints that are due to factors other
than engine horsepower. The graph will also show the
increasing effect of aerodynamic drag on the vehicle and the
corresponding lower “net horsepower” as the speed
increases.
To view the horsepower (HP) vs. time graph for a run, select
the menu choice titled “HP vs time” and press
:
You will see a graph such the one shown in Figure 34. Of
course the shape of the curve, as well as the numbers and
ranges, will be different for your vehicle.
