engine cyclinder pressure measurement

I have an engine that runs at a constant 900 rpm.  I would like to use LABview and fieldpoint to acquire a cylinder pressure vs. crank angle.  I have a FP-2000 and a FP-AI 110.  Can this hardware handle that type of signal.  To record the data I was thinking of clocking it off of an optical encoder preferably set to ever 0.5 CAD, however I would settle for 1 CAD.

Hi Martym,

You have a few options here. You can collect the pressure with the AI-110 if you have a pressure sensor that outputs voltages that the AI-110 takes. As far as counting the ticks form the crank angle sensor, you'll probably need a Quad. Encoder module or a counter module to do that counting.

Hope this helps,
