Unlike other dynamometers in the market which are basically a
proprietary box with no much other use, in our solution all
components can be individually replaced, upgraded or used for other
purposes. For example, the software can be upgraded by simply
downloading a new version from our web site, whereas for others
you have to upgrade the firmware which in most cases requiring
shipping the product back to the original manufacturer.
