Abstract
An automobile engine ignition analyzer with engine performance displayed on an oscilloscope. Circuitry for providing timing indicia on the oscilloscope trace in the form of high intensity spots or gaps, with the time intervals between indicia maintained constant as engine speed varies. A pickup for coupling the engine ignition pulse to a pulse shaping circuit which provides an output pulse related in time to the ignition pulse, and an oscillator started by the output pulse and providing a train of pulses at predetermined intervals, typically one millisecond, with the pulse train connected to the oscilloscope beam intensity control for blanking or intensifying the beam as desired.
