You would use it to test the performance of a alternator, see what effect modifications have, and comparing alternators against eachother. It could also be used to test a alternator up on a windmill, so long as you can access the RPM, voltage and current, it will work, though the rpm range of the data will be limited to the wind conditions of that period of testing. Its easy to change the software running on the maximite. You could have several ( hundreds ) of programs stored on the SD card. One might be a windmill controller / logger, to keep the batteries charged, switch in dump loads etc. To change program, say to the power logger, you just type in Load "RW_PLOT" run and its now a RPM to Power logger, the program called RW_PLOT has been loaded and run. When your finished, load up the other program. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ
