* Ignition analysis (timing, point arcing, spark plug condition etc.)
* Ignition analysis (timing, point arcing, spark plug condition etc.)


The instrument package includes a rotational function generator (015-0108-0x),
The major system components are:
pressure (015-0117-00) and vibration (015-0116-00) transducers, ignition pickoff (012-0139-00), magnetic pickup (015-0119-00), cables and carrying case.
* A [[561A]] or [[564]] Oscilloscope
* A [[3A74 | 3A74/M730A]] Four Channel Vertical Amplifier
* A [[2B67 | 2B67/M730A]] Time Base
* A [[015-0108-00 | 015-0108-0x]] Rotational Function Generator
* A [[015-0117-00]] Pressure Transducer
* A [[015-0116-00]] Vibration Transducer
* A [[012-0139-00]] Ignition Pickoff
* A [[015-0119-00]] Magnetic Pickup
* Plus necessary interconnecting cables and a carrying case.


The rotational function generator consists of a rotating film disk that is mechanically linked to the engine.
