When the horsepower computer is used with a companion personal computer, a standard (9 pin) RS-232-C extension cable is used to connect the two computers together. This extension cable is normally 10 feet long, but can be up to 50 feet long (and even longer if special “long range” RS- 232-C extension cables are used). The print rate and manual print switches serve to notify the personal computer which measurements are to be saved (or printed) in much the same way they are used when a printer is attached to the horsepower computer.

Software for the 2400S horsepower computer:

There are several software programs for the 2400S horsepower computer. These include:

Calibration Setup Software for the 2400S:

HpcOptionsW32 is software for the 2400S horsepower computer which is used to prepare the 2400S for calibration. This is done so that the 2400S will “know” the details of the method you will use to check the torque calibration of the unit. This “factory setup” is normally performed on the 2400S by your dealer prior to delivery of the 2400S to you so won’t have to.

If you change your calibration method or calibration tools, this program can be used to inform the 2400S of the changes so that subsequent torque calibrations will be accurate.

If you use a NIST traceable calibration method, this program must be used periodically (each time the load cell and the 2000S horsepower computer are sent in to have their NIST calibrations checked) to inform the 2400S of any changes to the load cell calibration or the internal 2400S traceable shunt resistor calibration.

HpcOptionsW32 is compatible with most Windows based computer systems including Win95, Win98, WinMe, Win2000 and WinXP.

Data Recording Software for the 2400S (Dyno32):

The Dyno32 software makes it easy to reproduce the 2400S horsepower displays on the screen of the personal computer for remote viewing, etc. There are also features for printing and recording (saving) your dyno measurements. Data printing and
