KLEPTOR: ENGINE DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM

For many years the Institut Francais du Petrole (IFP) laboratories have been developing control, acquisition and testing equipment for internal-combustion engines. The evolution of microelectronics has been such that it is now possible to build a compact high-performance single-channel system which is highly cost effective. This new system is called KLEPTOR. Simultaneous data acquisition and processing on several channels is possible with this system by combining as many KLEPTORs as there are signals to be acquired. KLEPTOR is a single-channel or multichannel autonomous data acquisition and processing system which can be built in a configuration to suit the needs of the user. It is especially designed for engine research, for the development of new engines and for specification tests for fuels and lubricants.
