Glossary “diesel dynamic timing meter” Definition:
To dynamically time a diesel engine, the fuel line pulse, crankshaft position and combustion time must be referenced at the same time. The fuel line pulse is monitored with a pressure transducer. Crankshaft position is monitored with a magnetic probe. Combustion is monitored by inserting a luminosity probe into a specific glow plug hole. The luminosity probe is then attached to a photocell which detects combustion.
