ADDITIONAL DYNAMOMETER TEST DATA
The following dynamometer test data was gathered during testing of electronics systems
undertaken in December 2008. I have not yet produced graphs but present the data here
for anyone who may wish to make use of it.
Note: There may be a few rogue readings where I misread or incorrectly recorded data
these will be obvious when you graph the data, just ignore them. This data is all from a
Solarex SX 10 panel.
