Course Overview

Looking to run test procedures with unique cycles or datalogging requirements?  TrackSIM allows the user to program all facets of testing in a step-by-step method independent of our standard cycles.  From setting racetrack lap times to low speed directional changes, TrackSIM is the key to running your machine in new and unique ways.  Learn the essentials for using this programming method in our Introduction to TrackSIM class. This two hour, rapid learning course reviews all aspects for using this additional ProLINK tool with the skills you'll need to successfully run, program, and troubleshoot your scripts.  Prior experience with ScriptEdit is recommended.  

Training Topics

Review all commands of TrackSIM, also referred to as "Cycle Primitives", to take your programs to new heights and open your machine to unique standards and requests.  Step-by-step control of the dynamometer will be discussed along with datalogging basics.  Emphasis is placed on real world examples and standards.  

TrackSIM at a Glance
Learn the basics of what TrackSIM is all about with completed programs and test data.  Understand the unique ways the machine can be run and programmed.  Compare the difference between tests executed with and without TrackSIM. 

Programming Commands
Understand all command lines of TrackSIM and learn how these need to be sequenced to work together in testing.  Both "Cycle Primitive Actions" and "Creep Primitive Actions" will be discussed in detail.  Samples will be shown at each step with tips of how to organize different sections of your test.  

Using our TrackSIM Converter
The TrackSIM Converter is a new ProLINK tool which can convert CSV files of time and speed into ready-made TrackSIM programs.  This invaluable tool takes the laborious steps of programming long time-cycles into an easy-to-use form with a variety of output options.  A "must" for using TrackSIM efficiently.  

Troubleshooting Basics
Review all the comment pitfalls of programming with TrackSIM and understand the ways to simplify your control programs.  

Who Should Attend? 

Anyone who is using or programming in TrackSIM looking to fully understand all its capabilities should attend. If you are an operator or test engineer with basic ProLINK experience, this course will give you the confidence to fully use this important dynamometer feature.
