IntroductionThe Fantom Racing FACTS Machine is a microprocessor (MPU) controlled accelerometer (dyno) designed for use with any PC or lap top computer running any Microsoft operating system, from DOS 3.3 through Windows 2000 Pro. The Fantom Racing Dynamometer is controlled from a DOS or Windows program from the computer. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY UPDATED SINCE 1990. No other program in the world contains as many 'Racing Answers' as the Fantom Racing Dyno. The NEW Facts Machine software provides unprecedented information, combined with the Facts Machine dyno unit, you have the ONLY motor tuning tool you will ever need to adjust your motor for the track conditions you will be running under.
Both the DOS and the Windows version of the software make the necessary calculations so you can determine approximate gearing and tire sizes to make the most use of your battery and chassis combination. The dyno includes DOS software with easy command options allowing you to work your way through the system with very little need for a manual. Because of its simple on-line help files that are menu sensitive, you simply scroll up or down through the file at anytime to refresh your memory about options that may help you develop a better understanding of R/C electric motors.
The FACTS Machine measures Torque, RPM, and Amps, and then uses these inputs to compute power. Plots of thesevariables are available both in relation to each other as well as in relation to time. Portability, IBM compatibility, and ease ofoperation make the FACTS Machine a SUPER tuning tool. Graphs shown on the screen have been formatted to be accurate within the limits of your screen resolution, and show tick marks along the axes for easy readability.
The latest Windows version of the dyno software; The Facts Machine works with all versions of Windows from 95 on up. It comes on CD and installs easily. The Facts Machine software is being developed to add many suggestions and options to your motor testing needs; including a new 'Rollout Calculator' for use in Road Racing, be it carpet, dirt or whatever. Now you can use the "FACTS Machine" very effectively for types of racing other than Oval. The new program shows you "Watts Per Inch". 'WPI' means how many watts your motor is putting on the ground to travel 1 inch. Using this factor you can tune your 'stuff' to make better lap times by putting down more power or tuning your car so it 'requires' less WPI to make a lap. Battery variances such as Ni-Cd vs. Ni-Mh are also included in the Facts Machine II program.
Operational TheoryThe "FACTS Machine" senses the speed of a flywheel with a known moment of inertia and also measures the current being consumed by the motor. The speed of the flywheel at specific time intervals is integrated to obtain the acceleration of the flywheel. The torque output of the motor is computed from the flywheel moment of inertia and the flywheel acceleration. At the same time, the power output of the motor is being computed from the torque output and the flywheel speed. All this information is then made available to the user in the form of graphs, charts and data screens. These options are selected by simply moving through the menu choices to provide output to the screen, your printer, or a file for later use.
General InformationThe FACTS Machine is manufactured by Fantom Racing. The program is a combination of efforts between Fantom Racing, decCo SoftWare and YOU giving it many facets that other programs don't have because of a narrower scope of thinking. Fantom Racing makes NO guarantee that these programs will work with every computer on the market, however they have been tested on every available 286 and faster machine that we were able to get our hands on since 1990. To work properly, your machine must be 100% IBM compatible, and must be capable of handling some sort of graphics. It also must have a minimum of 640k base memory. The Windows version of the software, Facts Machine is the software of the future as computers move away from the DOS operating environment. Facts runs on every Windows operating system from 95 through XP.
