Received Parts• Magtrol DSP6001 dynamometer controller

Received Parts• 20 psi pressure regulator

Motor Mount Design

Recent Developments

• Attended LabVIEW tutorial – became familiar with software interface

• Submitted coupler design to machinist• Module 1102B will relay both temperature

and voltage signals to chassis – Module 1126 can only be used for

frequency so will no longer be used• M-Test software will be delivered soon

Example Continuous Voltage Readingin LabVIEW

Next Steps

• Assemble cooling system• Finalize motor mount drawings• Continue LabVIEW programming of VI• Coordinate with SAE team concerning

LabVIEW programming• Acquire power supply for Hall effect

sensor and signal generator
