Intelligent Signal Conditioning
The IGTM-2000 uses microprocessor-controlled intelligent signal conditioning to automatically adjust threshold and hysteresis levels when operating with VRS-style magnetic sensors. By adapting to changing signal amplitudes during engine operation, it minimizes interference and helps maintain accurate timing measurements across varying speeds and load conditions. For applications requiring greater control, signal conditioning parameters can also be manually configured and are retained in non-volatile memory.
Patterned Crankshaft Signal Support
The IGTM-2000 is compatible with patterned crankshaft position signals, including missing-tooth and extra-tooth configurations commonly found in modern automotive engines. Popular timing patterns are pre-programmed for quick setup, while custom patterns can be easily configured to support specialized applications. This flexibility allows the system to integrate with a wide range of production and development engines while maintaining accurate transient timing measurements.
Flexible Signal Source Compatibility
Designed to support a variety of engine architectures, the IGTM-2000 accepts ignition and timing signals from multiple sources, including inductive spark plug wire sensors, ignition coil primary connections, OEM ignition trigger logic signals, optical shaft encoders, and existing crankshaft position sensors. In many applications, the unit can be connected in parallel with production ECM sensors, reducing installation complexity and minimizing the need for additional instrumentation.
Integrated Data Acquisition Interfaces
The IGTM-2000 provides both programmable analog timing outputs and RS-232 communication for straightforward integration with engine test cells, ECU calibration systems, and third-party data acquisition platforms. An expansion port also supports optional accessories, including the Analog RPM Adapter, making it easy to incorporate real-time timing data into existing measurement and analysis workflows.
Built for Engine Development
Whether performing ignition calibration, combustion analysis, injector timing validation, or transient engine testing, the IGTM-2000 delivers the precise timing information needed to support confident engineering decisions. Its compact, water- and oil-resistant aluminum enclosure is designed for reliable operation in demanding laboratory, dyno, and in-vehicle testing environments.
