Abstract
A fuel testing data acquisition system calibrator, signal simulator, and pickup complementary apparatus.
Claims20
A fuel quality rating testing system, comprising:
- a data acquisition system, comprising:
- circuitry configured for receiving a time-varying signal from a pickup, the pickup configured for coupling to a test engine;
- and
- circuitry configured for determining a fuel rating in response to the time-varying signal;
- and
- a complementary signal source comprising an external magnetic field sensor, for magnetically coupling to the pickup, and for outputting an alternative time-varying signal, wherein the circuitry for receiving is operable to receive the alternative time-varying signal and the circuitry for determining is operable to determine the fuel rating in response to the alternative time-varying signal.

A fuel quality rating apparatus configured for use with a pickup coupled to a test engine, the pickup configured for outputting a time-varying signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a signal source configured for magnetically coupling to the pickup;
- and
- an output configured for outputting an alternative time-varying signal.
A method of determining a fuel rating, comprising:
- operating a test engine having a pickup coupled to the test engine;
- sensing a magnetic field external from the pickup in response to the operating step;
- and
- receiving a time-varying signal corresponding to the magnetic field.
