Relative compression petrol
Measuring the current drawn by the starter motor is useful to determine starter condition
but it is also useful as an indicator of engine condition.
The purpose of this particular waveform is therefore to measure the current required to
crank the engine and to evaluate the relative compressions.
The current for a typical four cylinder petrol/ gasoline engine is in the region of 100–200
A.
