A closure measuring system for measuring operable specifications of a door panel
of an automotive vehicle. The closure measuring system includes a data sensing
device adapted to be removably attached to the door panel on the vehicle for sensing
and measuring a plurality of operable specifications of the door panel; such as
the velocity, energy to move the door and closed door flushness. A control panel
is provided for calculating and displaying the sensed and measured operable specifications
from the data sensing device and comparing the sensed and measured operable specifications
to predetermined design specifications of the door panel. A data acquisition chassis
is electrically coupled between the data sensing device and the control panel for
storing and transmitting the operable specifications between the data sensing device
and the control panel.
