Secondary ignition waveforms was created by Joman
I saw a video about secondary ignition waveforms(voltage) anyone knows how to interpret those forms because you can figure out if a cylinder has low compression. no fuel, no sparks and so on from reading those forms. is there any book or reference i can read :cheer:

I'd link you in a Scanner Danner video, but I'm on my phone (and supposed to be working!)

This off the companion cylinder same type of wasted spark system as the above. On the companion cylinder the spark polarity is reversed we can tell this because the trace is upside down.
Reversed polarity secondary ignition waveforms can be confusing to the beginner to ignition waveforms.
