Info from the Website :-
"Most of our meters are used by motoring enthusiasts who are either interested in how their car performs, or want to accurately measure some improvement they have made to their car's performance. The meters are also widely used in auto sport to measure 60ft times, tyre performance or improvements to suspension setup. We also sell 100's of meters to other more niche professional applications such as accident reconstruction, insurance companies assessing cars, driving instructors, the police testing HGV braking performance and car companies testing ride comfort to name just a few! Finally, because the meters don't require any connections to the car whatsoever, it can be used on anything from classic cars to dragsters!
What use is the data from the AP22?
What you do with the data is really only limited by your skills and imagination. Typical examples that we have been made aware of by our customers include:
optimising shift points and gearbox ratios
getting more complete power curves
looking at the split times around a sprint circuit; basically looking at the time between different corners
checking for running problems after a 1/4 mile run or sprint
What does the AP22 performance meter do?
The AP22 performance meter contains a precision dual axis, digital accelerometer to accurately measure both how fast the vehicle is accelerating and how quickly it is cornering. The high performance microprocessor in the meter uses the measured accelerations to work out speed, distance, power (at the wheels), how close you are to the traction limit and even simple track maps.
The meters are capable of many measurements, but some of the most popular include:
Measuring the time to accelerate between any two speeds (e.g. 0-60mph, 0-100mph)
Measuring the time to complete a quarter mile run
Measuring braking time and distance
Measuring the car's power at the wheels
Displaying the cornering or accelerating g-force
Indicating how near you are to losing grip
The performance meter can be set-up to use either metric or imperial units, whichever you prefer. The results are shown on the display immediately after the test. With the AP22, you can store the results to the units memory and analyse them in even more detail on a computer.
Features of the AP22 performance meter
The AP22 performance meter is a very accurate instrument. In it's most basic form it is designed for short acceleration and braking runs.
The AP22 performance meter is fully upgradeable. Additional memory can be added, you can add optional analogue outputs and even a GPS3 module, so the AP22 can be used for track mapping and integration into other data logging systems.
The main modes of operation for the AP22 performance meter are as follows:
Summary timing mode. For quick, easy, accurate performance measurements. The modes include: timing between any 2 speeds, timing over a set distance and timing over a quarter mile. The "Time between speeds" mode can be used for acceleration and braking runs, e.g. 0-60mph, 30-50mph or 100mph-0. The "Quarter mile timing" mode is for drag racers and displays the times for rollout, 60ft, 330ft, 660ft, 0-60mph, 0-100mph as well as the quarter mile statistics.
Display mode. Simply displays information on the screen e.g. cornering force.
Continuous mode. Logs all the data including speed and acceleration to the internal memory for analysis on the PC using the comprehensive software provided. With all the data stored up to 100 times every second, you can see exactly what is going on in incredible detail!
The AP22 performance meter also features:
User Configurable Options. The AP22 is highly configurable: units can be set to either metric or imperial as required and set up details of up to 4 different cars can be stored for quick reference.
Simple operation. The operation of the AP22 is very simple using just 3 buttons: up, down and select. The menu system is rather like operating a simple mobile phone.
External serial port. The serial port is used for downloading the logged data to your PC, upgrading the AP22 firmware or connecting the optional external GPS3 receiver.
Fast processor. The AP22 uses the very latest, high speed RISC processor to ensure there is plenty of power for future expansion
Silicon accelerometer. Inside the AP22 is a high precision dual axis accelerometer. The accelerometer is the same type that is used in our other products and uses a special digital output to ensure that the measurements are accurate and low noise.
Non-volatile memory. The memory inside the AP22 keeps its contents even when turned off and with the batteries removed. There are 3 different memory sizes available for the AP22, 10000 samples, 40000 samples or 80000 samples. At 100Hz sample rate the memory can store 100, 400 or 800 seconds respectively. At 25Hz sample rate the memory can store 400, 1600 or 3200 seconds (about 50minutes) respectively.
Optional GPS. The AP22 is fully compatible with our GPS3 module which is available separately. If the GPS3 is attached to the AP22 then the speeds are even more accurate as the accelerometer "drift" is eliminated and the system can generate the same very high quality track maps that you get from our other "high end" logging products."
Includes cable, manual and case. Used, good condition.
