Phoenix Pro User Manual so you have to judge based on related vehicle models. In general, the DC voltage is stable, but it also varies with different revolution speed. Starting voltage range: The value higher than 9.6V is regular, otherwise it is too low. Due to different situations, whether the starting voltage is higher or not does not mean the vehicles or batteries are faulty. For detailed faults, other special equipments are needed.

If the waveform acquisition is stopped (using the / button), the Time/DIV selector expands or compresses the waveform. Y-T format The conventional oscilloscope display format.
Phoenix Pro User Manual The trigger determines when the Scopebox starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the Scopebox starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The Scopebox continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur.
Phoenix Pro User Manual levels at the probe tip. BW Limit ON: Limits the channel bandwidth to 20MHz to reduce display noise. OFF: Get full bandwidth. Invert ON: Turn on the invert function. OFF: Restore to the original display of the waveform. Trigger setting Trigger indicates that when certain waveform meets the conditions that are predefined according to the requirements, the Scopebox acquires the waveform and its adjacent section, and then presents it on the screen. Fig.
Phoenix Pro User Manual becomes stable on the screen. Normal: This mode allows the Scopebox to acquire a waveform only when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the Scopebox keeps waiting, and the previous waveform, if any, will remain on the display. Single: In this mode, it only acquires the waveform that generates for the first time the trigger conditions are met, and then stops after finishing capture. Source Select which channel as trigger signal.

Phoenix Pro User Manual 13 Automotive Ignition waveform The ignition system is the system which has greatest impact on the performances of gasoline engine, as the statistical data shows that nearly half of the failures are caused by poor work of electrical system. And the performance tests of engine often start from the ignition system. Nowadays ignition system includes distributor and distributorless. Distributorless includes independent ignition and simultaneous ignition. 1. 2. 3.
Phoenix Pro User Manual V 6 engine: generally speaking, based on the person sitting on the driver cab, if the right side cylinder numbers on the right side, from the front to the back are as follows: 1, 3, 5; and the cylinder numbers on the left side, from the front to the back are as follows: 2, 4, 6; then the ignition sequence is: 1－4－5－2－3－6.
Phoenix Pro User Manual 4) Ignition voltage pulse: For the charge and discharge sections 5) Spark line: The inductance discharge process, i.e. the mutual inductance voltage of ignition coil maintains the conduction of secondary circuit 6) Contact point close the current flow into primary coil, the primary coil oscillates due to the mutual inductance.
Phoenix Pro User Manual Fig. 13-2 Fig. 13-3 below shows the valid and invalid ignition waveforms. Under the working status of valid ignition, the breakdown voltage and spark voltage are higher because the cylinder is filled with fresh combustible mixture gas, which has a lower ionization level and vice versa. Fig.
Phoenix Pro User Manual 13.3 Secondary-direct ignition analysis Connection： 1) When the high-voltage wire is exposed, plug the BNC end of secondary ignition pickup into CH1/CH2/CH3/CH4 channel of Scopebox, then connect the high-voltage clip to high-voltage line, and crocodile clips to ground. 2) If no high-voltage wire exposes, dismantle ignition coil of tested cylinder and use direct ignition extension cord.
Phoenix Pro User Manual Fig. 13-5 13.4 Waveform analysis mode The ignition secondary single-cylinder waveform test is mainly used to: a. Analyze the ignition dwell angle of single cylinder.(ignition coil charging time) b. Analyze the capability of ignition coil and secondary high tension circuit (from ignition line to ignition voltage line). c. Find the improper mixture A/F ratio of single cylinder (from combustion line). d. Analyze the capability of capacitance (platinum or ignition system). e.
Phoenix Pro User Manual poor ignition, etc. Confirm the consistence of judgement standard (the amplitude, frequency, shape and pulse width, etc., for each cylinder), check the fault of the waveform for corresponding components. Waveform results: observe the ignition coil at the beginning of charging, the relative consistent falling edge represents the dwell angle and ignition timing of each cylinder are precise. Ignition line: Observe the height consistence of flashover voltage.
Phoenix Pro User Manual can be verified via burnishing the contact or changing the circuit breaker. Fig. 13-6 For the primary voltage waveform shown on Fig. 13-7, the damped attenuation cycles obviously reduced on the spark period, the amplitude became lower, which is evidently caused by capacitor leakage. Fig. 13-7 The waveform on Fig. 13-8 shows the accidental pumping during contact closing period. The irregular beating is caused by insufficient spring force. Fig. 13-8 The curve on Fig.
Phoenix Pro User Manual Fig. 13-9 A lot of clutter will be displayed on the horizontal section of primary waveform if contact has poor grounding, as shown below figure 13-10. Fig.13-10 Fig. 13-11 shows the fault of low-voltage waveform in electronic ignition system. The voltage does not rise during magnetizing, which indicates that the effect of limitation of the circuit failed and no components on distributorless ignition system can be adjusted.
