> Select Analysis, Travel Histogram or use the shortcut (Ctrl+7)
> Most people are accustomed to seeing Travel data displayed with respect to Time. A histogram displays data with respect to number of occurrences instead of Time.
> The Travel Histogram shows the distribution of suspension Travel. The X-axis shows Travel as a percent of Max Available Travel for each file compared. The Y-axis shows the percent of time that that travel occurred.
>Example of a Histogram: There is 300 mm available travel. The software might divide the travel into 30 equal "bins" of 10 mm. The first bin is 0 to 10, the second is 10 to 20, the third is 20 to 30, etc. Every data point within the bins "Range" (0-10, 10-20, etc.) is put into that bin. The number of data points in each bin is counted and displayed as a percent of the total.
If you were to take a recording of a bike riding on flat ground without touching the brakes or gassing it heavily you would expect the Travel vs. Time graph to be a flat line at the Static Ride Height. A Histogram of this data would show a vertical spike at the Static Ride Height (all of the travel data points would be in one bin). The Travel is displayed as a percent of the Maximum Available. If the Static Ride Height were 95 mm the percent would be (95 / 300) x 100 = 31.7%.
What you see is where the suspension spent most of it's time. This is excellent for viewing changes made to suspension setup. It will not, however, give you information on chassis setup. |
