Post Processing Pro

• Comes with every Phoenix CAS license

• Input parameters can be changed after the test and results can be re-calculated

• Increases test cell utilization by eliminating the need for re-running a test

Phoenix AM

High speed data acquisition module performing online combustion analysis

• 12 high-speed analog input channels

• 8 digital input channels

• Gigabit Ethernet connection to the PC

• Built in Crank Angle Processor (CAPRO)

Crank Angle Processor (CAPRO)

The built-in crank angle processor offers:

• Support for common missing tooth configurations(i.e. 60-2, 36-1)

• Adaptive debounce support (speed dependent spike detection)

• Can multiply the incoming encoder signal to 0.1°

• Definable thresholds for rising or falling edges between 0-5V

C3 offers closed-loop control using cycle-by-cycle calculations.

Closed-loop Control

‘Headless’ Operation

• Configure through any web-connected device

• ‘Headless’: No PC connection needed during data acquisition

• Software is web-based, so no OS dependence

Data Storage

Phoenix C3 has storage capacity for conducting long test cycles, such as FTP 75.
