Load Mode (F2)

This mode is ideal for drivability tests and diagnosis of load related problems such as hesitations and misfires. By inputting a fixed load level (think of it as an infinitely long hill, where you can adjust the steepness of the grade) you can vary the rate of acceleration at will. This load is consistently repeatable and has a very fine degree of adjustment.  The load value ranges from practically no load at all, to a maximum load that will stall just about any vehicle.  You can now accurately adjust “tip in” fuel or accelerator pumps or any other “transient response” type of device - and any other parameter where rate of acceleration and load is an important factor in recreating the real-world experience. 

The Load F2 screen looks like this:

(If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may want to hit F11 to make it easier to view the graphic below)

In the above screen, the Set Load box shows the load value chosen - it can be keyed manually, or adjusted with the up and down arrow keys.  the 50 value shown means there is about 50nm of load (very low) currently applied.
