Smoothing Exhaust Resonance In Pressure Pulse Waveforms |

Attention FirstLook™ Users: Learn how to smooth a resonant exhaust
signal
Sometimes (depending on application) exhaust system resonance creates an issue in clearly identifying separate exhaust strokes picked up in a pressure transducer waveform placed in the exhaust and displayed on a lab scope.

"A pressure transducer converts an engine's operating characteristics to oscilloscope-ready electrical signals. Skillful interpretation of these vital signs can save valuable diagnostic time".

Corner - from Motor Magazine, Aug 2006

Identifying the source of a cylinder misfire can be very time-consuming. New
software, running in partnership with a PC-based oscilloscope, does a big
chunk of the work for you.

(This article contains a very good description of how the FirstLook
Sensor works compared to other types of sensors.)
An exhaust probe can save you time and improve your diagnostic accuracy.
However, practice, common sense, experience and logical follow-up testing are
required.

A sophisticated oscilloscope-based tool reminds us that automotive old-timers,
with their rudimentary tools and deceptively simple diagnostic tests, might
have been on to something after all.

Comments by Jeff Kogan:
"Since the first time I used the impulse sensor I knew the way I will diagnose cars would change forever.
There is simply nothing else that can give you so much information about engine condition and help locate problem cylinders
with so little effort. The cost of the unit is so little and the time savings are so big. Being able to diagnose injectors
is an added bonus, and it is all done with no disassembly. All that is needed is a dual trace scope and some time to learn
it. I think SenX Technology has given technicians one of the most powerful testing devices that the market has seen in
years.
Every scope owner should have one."
