Subject:Re: hall effect sender output characteristics?
From:Damon Campbell

I guess my question was a little vague.  Basically,
what i want to know is:

While the engine is spinning, what would the output of
the hall effect sender look like on an oscilloscope?
Then if this pattern could be approximately correlated
to crank angle, that would be awesome.

A google search yielded only vague results... i,
unfortunately, need fairly specific ones to enderstand
what is going on with the hall sender.

Thanks for any help on this,
-Damon
