The Graph Menu is shown in Figure 3.7. It is very similar to the Reports
menu in that you select what Data Types you want to graph from the list at
the top. Click on a Data Type to select, or click on a selected Data Type to
“de-select” it.

Data Types
The Data Types you can select are listed and defined in the Report’s
section Table 3.1 on page 79. You are limited to selecting only 8 Data
Types for a graph.
Other Graph Specs
Type
Click on the down arrow button to choose either Pick Individual Channels
(as show here) or several choices of the special graph type of Engine RPM
Histogram.
Time/RPM/Distance Graph
Click on the down arrow button to choose either Time or RPM or Distance
for the horizontal X axis of the graph. RPM is usually chosen for doing
torque and HP curves for Accel to Meas Tq/HP type of runs.
What to Report
Select what part of the drag race run you want to make the report of:
- All Data
- Just Power Run #2 (if it exists)
- Just Power Run #1
- Just Power Run #3 (if it exists), etc
Click on the down arrow button to choose either to report All the Data (all data recorded) or just a particular run. If you have
selected an RPM graph, you can only choose a particular run.
Note: In the Pro version, you can also select which run to graph by entering the Run number in the History Log. See Section
3.7.
Filtering (smoothing)
Click on the down arrow button to select the level of filtering (smoothing) to be done to the data, before the report is made:
- None
- Medium
- Light (some)
- Heavy (lots)
Select the lowest level that eliminates most (not all) of the 'jitter' in the data. Be careful not to 'over-filter', as this can
completely distort the data. The dip seen in the Graphs of Figure 3.14 is real and is due to exhaust tuning effects on this 2
stroke engine. Note that the graph with Heavy Filtering has lower Peak values than the graph with Filtering set to None. Also
note that the dip at 11000 RPM is not as deep with Heavy Filtering. This shows how Heavy Filtering can distort the data.
