• Angle pulse: 8 to 360 P/R
• Missing teeth: 0 to 4 P / location (1 P/R needed for 0 P/location)
NOTE: Please check carefully the specifications (magnitude and shape) of our
angle pulse signal products before purchase.

It is the best function for efficient engine calibration.(*Measureable data: internal cylinder pressure, rate of increase of internal cylinder pressure, combustion weight ratio position, rate of heat release, IMEP, NMEP, etc. )
·Measured data can be converted to MDF file format and saved via INCA.
Since it is applicable to ASAM file format, it is easy to manage and standardize other instrument data.
DS-0383 CAN measurement function
Cycle-by-cycle analysis can be made by synchronizing combustion analysis data with CAN data, which is becoming increasingly important as the basis for automotive control.
Test output and database file output are now 
Use with the OS-2000 series (Time-series data analysis software)
The combustion analysis software is now available to output the TDMS file which is applicable to ASAM file. The following data are stored in the TDMS file: actual measured angle axis data including in-cylinder pressure signal, TDC calculation data which is used to check the time difference of combustion calculation result (NMEP, combustion weight ratio position, etc.).
By importing the TDMS file to the OS-2000 series, the phenomenon of angle axis data is analyzed while checking the time axis difference of the combustion calculation result in OS-2000 series.
The OS-2000 can import the performance data file (.thd) measured by FAMS and ECU data (.mf4) measured by INCA made by ETAS corporation. Those data can be matched and analyzed with the combustion analysis data.
