Select [2. D. L. I. DFS] from the main menu, the 
system will enter the next sub-menu of function 
selection of distributorless ignition, as shown in 
Fig.4-04. It is to test the single ignition waveform of 
two-cylinder ignition mode.   
 
Fig.4-04 
If [3. DISTRIBUTOR] is selected on the main menu as 
shown in Fig.4-02, the unit will enter the function 
selection menu for distributor ignition, as shown in 
Fig.4-05. The five items can be used respectively for 
testing the distributor ignition waveform of engine with 
3-8 cylinders.

The user can select the corresponding test function 
according to the vehicle model and test item. Press a 
corresponding number key or use [▲] [▼] keys to 
select the desired item, and then press [ENTER] key 
to enter the corresponding ignition waveform test. 
Description of Ignition Mode 
z  D.L.I. (1 cylinder): One spark plug is connected 
to an ignition coil. It is able to test independent 
ignition primary/secondary waveform for each 
cylinder. 
z  D.L.I. (2 cylinders): Two spark plugs are 
connected to one ignition coil (one of the plugs is 
connected to positive terminal of ignition coil 
while the other to negative terminal). It is able to 
test primary/secondary waveform of each 
cylinder for two-cylinder ignition mode. 
z  DISTRIBUTOR: It is the traditional ignition mode. 
The secondary high-tension signal of ignition coil 
is distributed to each cylinder through distributor 
for firing. It is able to test the primary/secondary 
waveform of 3-8 cylinders with distributor. 
Connections for Different Tests 
When a test item on the main menu is selected, the 
screen will remind the user to connect the test cable. 
The connection is different for each type of ignition 
system. The following connecting methods are typical 
and can demonstrate how to test the engine no matter 
with or without a distributor.   
 
DISTRIBUTOR Mode 
CONNECTION 1: The connection for ignition 
waveform test of engines with distributors is shown in 
Fig.4-06. This method is applicable to engines with 
secondary high-tension cores.
