Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for monitoring and correcting a condition of an engine. A system for monitoring an engine comprises a plurality of sensors each coupled to a cylinder of the engine and configured to detect pressure data from each cylinder, a controller coupled to the sensors and configured to receive the pressure data and a monitor coupled to the controller for displaying the pressure data. The controller comprises a processor and a computer-readable data storage device. The storage device stores program instructions that, when executed by the processor, stores the pressure data captured by the controller and parses or combines this data into at least one parameter that represents the condition of the engine and/or summarizes one or more issues that may affect engine performance. This provides valuable information to the user(s) in real time, allowing the user(s) to make immediate correction actions to the engine.
