AccelIt Basic

A handy drag test application for measuring important drag parameters.

A handy drag test application, capable of measuring instant and average acceleration and speed, taking into account selective set of environmental factors, such as wind condition, etc ,which may affect final results. Measurements are based on device sensors combined with some fetched values from the net. GPS availability, accelerometer and gyroscope sensors as well as Internet access are primary requirements for this test. A few network based values which are usually fetched from the net may temporarily be unavailable without affecting basic acceleration results. This minor shortage is usually transient and could vanish after waiting for a while and restarting the application. Importance of some environment factors such as air pressure, wind direction and speed, is carefully considered and reflected in result page. Developers have tried to provide minimum requirements of a typical drag test like a selective set of environment factors as well as a visual compass to show your movement direction during the test. According to rules of common practice, user should select a time frame from 5 to 25 seconds to allow the app to conclude its measurements.

How to use Accelit! Basic:

1. Enable location provider as well as internet data.

2. Wait for a while to let your device fetch location data

3. Meanwhile you can calibrate your phone's compass

4. Start the app and wait for main screen.

5. Read the instructions on main screen.

6. Click on “Drag Test”

7. On the next page, select test timing and press start button.

8. Test starts and continues for the specified number of seconds.

9. You will be transferred to a page with all of test results.
