1. Phoenix Family
Overview
Test with Confidence

2. Why Combustion Analysis?
Emissions
Power
Fuel Economy
Durability
Engine R&D
The performance of the engine depends largely on the processes taking place inside the combustion chamber and engine cylinder.
Misfire
Ignition Delay
Mass Fraction Burned/Heat Release
Indicated Mean Effective Pressures (IMEP)

3. Phoenix Product Line Phoenix AM (Acquisition Module)
Phoenix RT (Real Time)
Phoenix CAS (Combustion Analysis Software)
Phoenix C3

4. Phoenix AM
The Phoenix AM is a high-speed data acquisition module used to perform online combustion analysis.

5. Features 12 high-speed analog input channels 8 digital input channels
Gigabit Ethernet connection to the PC
Built in Crank Angle Processor (CAPRO)

6. 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

7. Phoenix RT
A high-performance processor that connects to the Phoenix AM to allow for real-time cycle-by-cycle analysis.

8. Features Real-time cycle-by-cycle combustion analysis
Support for user-defined cycle-by-cycle calculations
Multiple cycle-by-cycle streaming output choices

14. Post Processing Pro Included with every Phoenix CAS license
Engine and test 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

15. Phoenix C3
A compact, configurable combustion analysis system ideally suited for in-vehicle testing, or applications with up to 12 channels.

16. In-Vehicle Configuration with Phoenix C3
Connect directly to the crank position sensor
Built in encoder signal conditioner
Combined Phoenix AM and RT capabilities
No built-in charge amp is required:
Keeps the combustion system modular
No need to replace existing charge amplifiers
Compatible with other charge amplifier vendors
Allows charge amplifiers to be positioned close to the sensor

17. Stackable Design
The stackable design eliminates the need for tools.

18. Multiple Configurations
4-channel
8-channel
12-channel
Match the channel count to the application requirements

19. Headless Operation
Configurable with any device through the web browser
No need for a connection to a PC or any other device
No more worries about operating system updates

20. Intuitive Web GUI for Configuration
Index – system and module information
Live Data – cylinder pressure traces

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

22. Seamless ETAS INCA Integration
Combustion analysis data seen through the INCA interface

23. Closed Loop Control
Cycle-by-cycle combustion results can be infinitely streamed to third-party systems using standardized protocols.
Engine Data
Cycle-by-cycle data

24. “Set it and forget it”
Once configured, the Phoenix C3 runs automatically; no babysitting required.

25. The Phoenix Family Phoenix C3 Phoenix AM/RT
