The Dynojet inertia dyno in it's standard form only has the ability to do an upsweep, since that's what the inertia allows. We can measure negative, but cannot induce downsweep or steady state since the dyno does not have a retarder/load cell on it. Dynojet now offers that on their smaller dynos with the 24" diameter drum, but not on the 48" drum. Too much inertia to overcome from what I hear.
They did do it for one shop though - Robert Yates Racing in NC. They have the only one. I did hear from their dyno operator that it's for sale though.
In regards to consistency or repeatability, I doubt anyone would question the Dynojet unit. It is as simple as it gets, with no operator adjustments for the load. This means that every time you pull a truck on, the load is exactly the same. Same yard stick gives great consistency and repeatability.
