Welcome to the teaching demonstration video of the MET software of the thrust stand. This video will introduce the main functions and usage precautions of the MET software.
1. Take out the USB drive and insert it into the computer.
2. Open the USB drive file, which contains two folders: Software and drivers, and Teaching videos of the software.
3. The software and drivers include software installation programs, serial port drivers, and software runtime framework drivers.
4. Double click on MET-V6 to run the installation program and follow the prompts to complete the installation. The desktop will generate two shortcuts, one for the MET-V6 testing program and the other for the analysis software.
5. Then install runtime framework and serial driver of the software.
6. After the installation of the software and driver is completed, open the software, select the corresponding purchase test bench model, and enter into the main interface. If it prompts "Initialization write failure", authorization settings need to be made to the installation directory. Open the C drive - Program Files LYFH in sequence, right-click the folder "LYFH", click on Properties, and perform security authorization settings. After successful settings, the software can be used normally.
7. There are differences between computers and systems. Users can adjust the screen resolution and display ratio based on computer configuration and usage habits. It is generally recommended to set the screen resolution to 1920 * 1080 and the screen display ratio zoom to 100%.
The software is mainly divided into Toolbar, Controller, Real-time data, Chart monitor, device info, and environment parameter display.
Some function in the software can be used when the device is connected.
1. The Toolbar includes seven modules: File, System settings, Data analysis,Language/theme, About, Version, and device connection Port. It can achieve functions such as data search, basic parameter of the system settings, and data analysis. Below is a brief introduction of the various functions of the Toolbar.
2. Click on the File to open the test data storage Folder (MetData). You can view the test raw data (Log), point data (Point), test report (Report), and average throttle point data. The Data base in the Folder contains program configuration files. Users can delete the configuration files to change the test stand model. For specific operations, please refer to the Quick Use Guide file.
3. The system settings include six modules: Basic settings, Safe guard, Test Info, Auto Test, Data settings, and Factory settings.
4. ①For the PWM range : Generally, for the ESC supporting the calibration, the setting range is 1100-1940μs or 1000-2000μs , after the setting and software will be automatically restarted. For the ESC that cannot be calibrated the stroke, please refer to the ESC manual for settings.
②Number of Pole Pair: Indicates the number of motor pole pair, and the number of poles pair should be set before testing. For example, if the number of pole pair in the motor slot is "12N14P", "7" needs to be entered in the number of pole pairs.
③Number of sticker is the number of reflective stickers affixed to the propeller or motor when measuring the optical RPM.
For example, when measuring the rotational speed of a two blade propeller, the number of reflective stickers usually posted is two, enter two in the "Number of Stickers" . If the rotational speed of a three bladed propeller is tested, generally three reflective stickers to stick and we need to enter three.
③Shaft power calculation: It is for users weather to use commutation speed or optical speed to calculate shaft power. For LY-Micro-30KGF, it is recommended to select commutation speed, and for LY-70KGF-MAX, it is recommended to select the optical speed.
④Direction of thrust: If the test motor and propeller generate a forward force which the rear end of the test bench points towards the direction of the motor, the direction of thrust is set to "Pull". If the motor and propeller generate a backward force which the motor points towards the rear end of the test bench, set the direction of thrust to "Push".
⑤Torque direction: If the propeller turns according to the left-hand helix theorem in the direction of thrust, it is set to CW (clockwise rotation). If the propeller turns according to the right-hand helix theorem in the direction of thrust, it is set to CCW (counterclockwise rotation).
⑥Collection rate: It is recommended to use 100Hz for frequency sweeping test mode, the response, and the vibration of the power system. For other tests, use 10Hz.
⑦Log recording rate: refers to the recording rate of log raw data , which users can set according to their own needs.
Other parameters generally do not need to be set separately by users. If there are parameters that need to be measured separately, users can find detailed definitions of the parameters according to the user manual.
4. Safe Guard: User can set nine parameters including thrust, voltage, current, IR Temp (infrared temperature), commutation speed, optical speed, Electrical-P (total power), PC (power consumption (Ah)), and PC (power consumption (Wh)). Two modes for Safe Guard：One is “Alarm”, when the test value reaches the protection value, the software will alarm. The real-time data display position will flash red and the device will make an alarm sound. But the throttle lock operation will not be performed. One is "Throttle Protection", after checking, when the test value reaches the protection value, the alarm is executed and the throttle is locked.
*When the throttle is higher than 20%, the throttle will slow down to 20%, and perform the locking operation.
When the throttle is below 20%, the software will lock directly.
5. Test Info part includes: Motor Type、Propeller Type、ESC driver Type、Tester and other notes.
User can input info according to the test requirement. Log will synchronous record the related info.
6. Auto Test includes seven modes in total: Increase、Cycle、Custom、Sine、Linear、Step and Frequency sweeping.
Users can select the test mode according to the requirements, set and save it. Click”Auto Test” after “Unlock the throttle” in the control panel.
