Engine Vibration

[hysteric]

Does anyone have a way in which they monitor cycle to cycle variations in engine running via vibration or harmonics with a data logger?

I would imagine that a higher sampling rate like a 100 samples per second would be ideal but I'm limited to the Innovate stuff.

Yes, we do that type of thing all the time. We started about five years ago and has become a tool box staple.

The Vibration sensor that we use (and sell), will sample at up to a frequency of 3.2kHz and log the data.
It records in three axis and can be used anywhere on the vehicle, engine, transmission, drive line, suspension, etc.

It can then be downloaded to a laptop for analysis. It can produce wave frequency, velocity, amplitude and a few
other things we rarely use.

The cost is less than that of a good tire including sensor and logger with software.

Thanks David do you have a link I can go to?
