  • Real-time computerized engine analyzer using multiple analog-to-digital conversion system
    Patent number: 5481193
    Abstract: An engine analyzer for an internal combustion engine converts an engine waveform into a digital waveform which is displayed on a monitor. The waveform is converted using two analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion channels. A dedicated A/D control microprocessor is used to control the flow of the digital waveform data between the analog-to-digital conversion channels and a main computer. Waveform data transfer to the main computer is over a dedicated, high speed data bus. A peripheral control microprocessor is used to monitor other engine parameters and shares memory with the A/D control microprocessor.

  • Internal combustion engine mapping apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5189907
    Abstract: An RPM variation test for use in an engine analyzer system is used to test internal combustion engines. The engine analyzer individually disables cylinders and monitors instantaneous engine RPM, to generate an engine map. The engine analyzer performs an engine performance test upon the internal combustion engine. The engine map is used to map the results of the engine performance test. Using the present invention, an engine map is produced just prior to performing an engine performance test.
