Paul,

The "brain trust" had proceeded quite a ways toward defining an
inexpensive package of hardware for recording intake and exhaust
pressure pulses.  Could this be finished to the point of defining model
and part numbers with suppliers and prices for all the items needed for
a complete system - including the PC software?

I'd like to see if it would be practical to assemble a package in time
for your next dyno run.  Perhaps we could share the cost if it's fairly
affordable.

My dyno run is coming up soon. I'll be out of the country starting on the
9th of Nov for ten days so it will have to be in December.

We need at least two pressure transducers.  I have one of Tracy's systems
with the dual transducers so I can set that up. All one needs now is a data
acq system that samples the sensors once every millisecond or so. I have
a Tektronix storage scope that can do that. A battery powered digital data acq
system with a USB output would be more convenient.

What I really need is a body to take charge of this part of the project.
Where are you and what are you doing around the first of December?
Do we have any other electronic types that will volunteer?
