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
