Excel Thrust Stand Data Analyzer

Excel Thrust Stand Data Analyzer is an excel calculator for converting thrust stand data gathered with a mechanical scale and digital camera or a load cell. If you have a mechanical scale based thrust stand you can use this calculator with the following work flow:

​

- Record video of static test of motor on thrust stand

- Trim video to the required length to see the burn and any other relevant "events"; I.E. parachute charges, etc.

- Use a video to still frame converter to convert your video to individual frames

- Enter the thrust data from each frame into the data analyzer along with the propellant mass for the motor

- Adjust chart(s) data range to match motors actual burn time and you're done!
