ABSTRACT:
The rpm, dwell and timing of an internal combustion engine are measured by starting and stopping a digital counter on the leading edge of pulse waveforms generated either within the engine or by a timing light. Timing is measured by starting the counter upon the firing of the number one cylinder, and providing an additional signal delayed in time as a function of the distributor advance to stop the counter. The count in the counter is converted to rpm, dwell or timing by either analog or digital techniques. A timing light delay circuit having a variable delay is incorporated with the timing light to produce the delayed signal proportional to distributor advance, the delay being adjustable within two selectable ranges. By measuring and displaying the computed dwell for each cylinder in sequence, distributor mechanical wear associated with shaft bearings and drive gears may be detected.
