DashDyno SPD™ combines a scan tool, performance meter and data logger into
one, easy-to-use instrument for the automotive enthusiast. DashDyno is a unique
device introducing many industry-first features.
Traditional scan tool features such as reading/clearing the dashboard Check
Engine light and displaying the freeze frame are supported. Access to thousands
of generic and enhanced diagnostic trouble code definitions are displayed
directly on screen.
Vehicle horsepower/torque and acceleration times are measured and graphically
displayed. All graph screens zoom and scroll. The dynamometer also supports
automatic performance measuring where an acceleration test is performed every
time the vehicle accelerates from a stop.
The data logger records data from the vehicle diagnostic port, analog inputs,
a digital input, and an external GPS. Up to 16 parameters may be simultaneously
recorded. An external SD / MMC memory card slot means never running out of
storage.
Connecting custom sensors, an external wideband O2 controller and even a GPS
is easy using the two auxiliary ports. Four analog inputs, a digital input, a
digital output and a serial port offer the utmost in flexibility. A custom
formula may be applied to any analog input for conversion into other units of
measure. The serial port connects to any serial handheld GPS receiver.
Three user programmable high intensity alarm lights illuminate or flash when
sensor limits are exceeded. The digital output open/closed state is also
programmable based upon sensor values. The eight-button backlit keypad with
secondary functions provides intuitive user control. Software screen wizards ask
simple questions making multi-step operations quick and easy. Screen setups can
easily be saved to the external memory card for easy recall.
Recorded data may be viewed directly on DashDyno or a PC using the Dyno-Scan
for Windows software. Dyno-Scan for Windows may also display live vehicle data
when connected to the mini USB connector for those situations when laptop
diagnostics may be preferred.
DashDyno and Dyno-Scan for Windows creates a Google
Earth playback to correlate recorded vehicle sensor data with the vehicle's
GPS georeferenced position. Dyno-Scan for Windows automatically controls the
Google Earth position and camera angle. Moving the data cursor within a recorded
data file causes Google Earth to fly to the new position. Playback data and
Google Earth flies behind the vehicle position exactly where the data was
recorded. This is an extremely powerful tool in analyzing vehicle data whether
on a racetrack, off road or around town. Google Earth is a free software
application available as a download from Google.
All 1996 or newer vehicles are
supported using the OBD II diagnostic port
located under the dashboard.
