AutoStop brake meters measure deceleration (braking efficiency) directly (which is the design parameter used in original homologation) to an accuracy of 2%. Distance is calculated by the meter in its internal computer using the average deceleration measurement, time to stop (from the internal real time clock – accuracy 1.0%) and the assumption that the final speed is zero. The double integration process involved in the mathematics compounds these measurement accuracies and dependent on the shape of the deceleration versus time trace can generate a different result. The difference will be much less than that obtained from using any peak deceleration instrument such as a Tapley meter. The difference is due solely to the mathematics and is not a function of the AutoStop meter. Regulators in certain jurisdictions still use “distance to stop” – because in the 70’s and 80’s direct measurement of braking efficiency to an accuracy of 2%. The regulations will “catch-up” eventually.

When activating my unit, I get an error such as ‘Address field too long’ or similar.
Please check your address. If the address is very long you may need to abbreviate it. Do not use special characters such as commas or slashes, as these will trigger errors. Just leave a space in their place when possible.
The app is running slowly when sorting out stored tests.
Please clean up tests regularly by transferring them to the computer using the USB cable.
The time on my unit is wrong, how do I fix this?
Change the time to AUTOMATIC if you had changed it manually. If it’s on network time but still incorrect, connect to a network to get the updated time. The time zone may be wrong, so swipe up on the bottom of the screen and press the circle button. Once you’re on the home screen swipe on the middle of the screen to open up the list of apps. Open ‘Settings’ and scroll down to select System Settings. Then select Date & Time. Switch off Automatic Time Zone if it’s on and then set correct Time Zone manually if that is wrong.
My results are in the wrong units, how do I change them?
Open Settings from the Brake Pro app’s main menu and then select Test Results Settings. Choose your desired Units and then press either the house or gears icons to save your choice. You can also change the units for decelaration on the test results screen by pressing on the decelaration readings and choosing from the menu that pops up.
Why am I getting a speed error?
The Workshop Pro is moving relative to the vehicle. This is a common error when the unit is not secured properly to the vehicle. See Figure 2 on previous page. The supplied Velcro will stop your Workshop Pro from moving,when attached to the carpet floor on the passenger side of the vehicle. Never hold in your hand for the test, or between your legs, or on the floor of the driver’s side.

To delete individual saved test results, open Database on the main App menu. Hold your finger down on the test you want deleted and it will be highlighted in red. You can then select multiple tests to be deleted. Click the trash can in top right corner to delete the selected tests.
