Design of VI-based Data Collecting System for Diesel Engine Indictor Diagram
Zhiliang Zhao · Mechanical Engineering & Automation · 2011
A diesel engine indictor diagram contains much information on the diesel engine's performance.It not only shows the thermodynamic cycle and work state of the diesel engine,but also includes the parameters such as the average indicated pressure,indicated power and the maximal blast pressure.Because the virtual instrument(VI) is quite efficient,easy to control and high in precision,we use it as service platform,and design a VI-based data collecting system for diesel engine indictor diagrams,which integrates the various function modules belonging to traditional instrument on one computer,and provide a useful means for diesel engine monitor and fault diagnosis.
