Please use it for tuning and condition management of a your car

* There are vehicle conditions that can be measured, so be sure to check the details.

Features of the application
· Accurate measurement based on physical law
· Support various units
· Easy-to-read digital display
· Measurement results are displayed in table and graph

Measuring method
Actually make the vehicle full throttle and calculate power and torque from GPS location information

Adaptation condition
· Manual gearbox or Automatic gearbox that can lock up
(No slip between engine and tire)
· It is possible to input the vehicle information necessary for the measurement to be described later


Vehicle information necessary for measurement
· Cd (Constant Drag) * Selectable from preset
· Frontal area * Selectable from preset
· Vehicle Weight (stated in the vehicle specification table)
· Loading weight (weight of driver, passenger and cargo)
· Diameter of drive wheel * Calculated automatically from tire size
· RRC(Rolling resistance coefficient) * Selectable from preset
· Transmission Gear ratio of gear used for measurement (measurement with gear closer to 1.0 is recommended)
· Differential gear Ratio
· Outside temp

Notes
A large error may occur in the measurement result unless the following conditions are satisfied during measurement
· The road surface is flat and there is no gradient
· No strong wind is blowing
· Fix the device (iPhone, iPad) to the vehicle
· Good reception of GPS (not possible inside tunnel)
· Do not shift from the measurement gear (lock up the gear and do not kick down)

Other
· The GPS measurement interval is about 1 second according to the specification of the device. Measurement results become rough in vehicles where acceleration is too fast. In that case, please measure with a higher gear.

* For safety, please do not use this application on public road
* An error may occur in the measurement result depending on various conditions
