Figure 8 - Secondary Side (Parade):





Test condition: Accelerate engine repeatedly to 3000 RPM.

NOTE:
- As a result of the acceleration process, several cylinders are displayed in succession according to firing order, see display example (1-3-4-2-1-3-4-2 etc.).
- The ignition voltage shows a uniform increase at all cylinders during the acceleration phase. The ignition voltage increase must not exceed 6 kV.

- Engine at idle.


Figure 11 - Primary Side (Primary Current Limit):





Limiting of the primary current can occur intermittantly, at one or all cylinders, at engine speeds above 2000 RPM with and without load (arrows).
