(in Adobe PDF format.  Need the Adobe Reader?)

The following chart displays the cylinder exhaust and intake event timings for a four cycle engine at various engine speeds. This is the key to using the FirstLook Engine Diagnostic Pulse Sensor.

Important points to note in the chart for setting up your automotive diagnostic scope are noted on the far right. These points allow for full-scale viewing of one cycle (or two rotations) of a four cycle engine at working RPM ranges.
