other suspensions for comparisons. The Graph options are discussed in detail is Section 3.3, page 91.
Reports

are discussed in detail is Section 3.1, page 83.
Other Specs
The Other Specs command opens up the Other Specs menu. Other Specs are used to describe aspects of the suspension which
can not broken down to the Left or Right side. Many of these specs are quite critical for what inputs can be entered at the Main
Screen. For example, if you set Roll Bar to None, no Roll Bar measurements are asked for at the Main Screen. See Section 2.3,
page 37.
Adjust
This powerful feature lets you change some component or adjustment on the chassis, and have all other suspension
measurements change just as if you had made the change on the actual car. This feature is discussed in detail in Section 2.5,
page 43.
Optimize
This powerful feature lets you find a new location or adjustment for some selected suspension component which produces some
optimum type of suspension characteristic. One example, would be to move the left tie rod end to find minimum left side bump
steer. See Section 2.6, page 47.
Animate
The Animate option lets you direct the suspension through a series of steps to simulate continuous motion, much as you would
see on the actual test track or race track. See Section 2.7, page 49.
Preferences
Preferences let you customize the program for your needs and for your computer and printer. See Section 2.2, page 23.
