Dyno DataMite Analyzer
Chapter 4 Examples
Test files are saved to folders (directories) you have created in the DTMDATA folder (directory) in the DTM20 folder
(directory) under PERFTRNS.PTI folder (directory). You can copy Windows Dyno DataMite Analyzer files from programs on
other computers to this folder (directory) and they will be found by the program. Theis v3.2 will read files produced with the
older v2.0. Just copy them into a folder under the DTMDATA folder (other than the Examples folder). The Save to Floppy and
Open From Floppy commands discussed on page 18 are an alternate, perhaps easier way to copy files from one computer to
another.
In v3.7, these files are stored in the C:\Program Files\Performance Trends\Dyno DataMite v3.7 folder.
The method of saving an Engine file is exactly the same as complete Test Files, except that you access the Save menu by
clicking on File at the top of these individual menus, as shown in Figure 3.29. These files are saved to the ENGINE folder
(subdirectory).

screen shown in Figure 3.31. From
this screen here you can open or
save most any file on the computer
on most any disk drive.
Tips to Advanced Users:
DataMite test files actually consist of 3 files:
1.
2.
3.
.DAT file (which is the recorded DataMite data)
.CFG file (which is the configuration file, including DataMite specs, Dyno Specs, Engine Specs, etc.)
.LAP file (which is the Lap or Run file, identifying where the beginning and end of each dyno run is in the .DAT file)
If you want to copy a DataMite test from one computer to another, you must copy all 3 files. This is done automatically
whenever the program saves or opens a file, or when you used the Save to Floppy and Open From Floppy commands discussed
on page 18.
If you have a file from another computer, from another disk (like a floppy) or folder, you can simply copy it into any folder in
the DTMDATA folder and it will be found by the DataMite program. This can be done with a system program like Windows
Explorer or by clicking on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop. You can also create new folders (directories) in the
DTMDATA folder and these will also be used by the DataMite program.
