> Select Analysis, Waveform Analysis or use the shortcut (Ctrl+3)
> The “Waveform Analysis” screen allows you to do very detailed analysis. Vertical Cursors are available in Single and Dual Cursor mode that allow you to move through the waveform and display precise measurements of travel and velocity. Dual Cursor Mode is perfect for calculating Static Sag.
> Travel or Velocity Selector The selector switch in the upper left corner allows you to switch from Travel Data to Velocity Data as well as Single or Dual Cursor Mode, the Measurement Cursor will remain locked to the same sample point while switching back and forth between Travel and Velocity.
You can use this feature to gain a better understanding of the relationship between Travel and Velocity.
The graphic is displaying travel waveform data. The cursor is intersecting the waveform at the peak of suspension compression (max travel).
After switching to Velocity data, you can see that the cursor now intersects the waveform at zero velocity. Velocity is at zero because the suspension has stopped moving upward and has not yet starting to rebound.
> Single Cursor Mode In Single Cursor Mode, the vertical measurement cursor allows you to sweep through the data one point at a time. The measurement indicators display the Time, Travel, and Velocity occurring at the point being measured. It also gives data for the point before and the after the selected point.
- To use the Single Cursor Place the mouse inside the graph and hover over the green vertical cursor. The cursor will change into a Cursor Movement tool allowing you to drag the cursor anywhere you wish. The middle value for Travel and Velocity is the data at the cursor.
To help locate a maximum or minimum value the data for the point “Before” and the point “After” are displayed next to the values at the cursor.
-- Zoom In! Use the Time Scale control to zoom in on the data. If you set the time scale to less than 10 seconds, you will see the actual data points.
> Dual Cursor Mode Dual Cursor Mode allows you to use two cursors and enables measurements of the difference between two points or the average between two points. This works very well when measuring Sag and the Stiction Zone. See 7 Measuring Static Sag.
- Dual Cursor Locking Cursor Locking allows you to specify a fixed distance between the In Cursor (green) and Out Cursor (red). The value you enter is the number of data points. If you move the Green cursor while the cursors are locked the Red cursor will follow.
Since the ShockClock samples at 240 times per second, a setting of 240 points equals one second. |
