Adapter for converting luminosity signals into inductive signals

摘要

The adapter includes a luminosity probe for replacing the glow plug associated with the selected cylinder in a diesel engine, a timer circuit responsive to inception of each electrical signal generated by the luminosity probe to produce a timer signal. The timer signal is differentiated to produce a spike. A pickup loop receives the spike and produces an inductive signal for application to the clip of a spark-ignited-engine timing meter.
