The earliest implementation was the [[ROTAN]] system from 1958 that used a magnetic drum rotational encoder coupled to the engine.  ''Whast was the commercial status of ROTAN?''
The earliest implementation was the [[ROTAN]] system from 1958 that used a magnetic drum rotational encoder coupled to the engine. It was limited to 10,000 rpm.  ''What was the commercial status of ROTAN?''


In the early 1960s, the [[183|183 Rotational Analyzer]] with its [[182]] transducer were available.
In the early 1960s, still under the ROTAN label, the [[183|183 Rotational Analyzer]] with its optoelectronic [[182]] allowed up to 20,000 rpm.


In 1967, the '''Tektronix Engine Analyzer''', a next generation of products based on optoelectronic rotational encoders, pressure transducers, and ignition pick-off probes, was commercialized.
