Instead of drawing sixty teeth by hand, the generator builds the whole signal from the tone wheel parameters. It opens from Settings → Create CKP CMP Signal.
Digital mode only.

​
What it generates

  • CKP on the first active channel: two full crankshaft revolutions, which is one complete four-stroke engine cycle.
  • CMP on the second active channel: a single pulse per two crankshaft revolutions, that is, one camshaft turn.
Whatever those two channels already held is replaced. The other channels are left untouched.

How the wheel is drawn

Every tooth position takes two steps, so the waveform has visible rising and falling edges:
  • Real tooth: high on the first step, low on the second.
  • Missing tooth: low on both steps.
That gives the total length of the signal:
With a 60-2, then: 120 steps per revolution and 240 steps for a full cycle. The missing-teeth zone sits at the end of each revolution.

​
CMP synchronization

A slider from −360° to +360°, with a Reset button to go back to 0°. The CMP pulse:
  • Lasts 5 tooth widths, that is 10 steps, always.
  • Starts by default a quarter of the way into the second revolution.
  • The sync angle shifts it: the 360° of one crankshaft revolution are total teeth × 2 steps, so +90° advances it a quarter turn.
The result is wrapped inside the cycle: if the shift pushes it out one end, it comes back in the other.

​
After generating

The signal sits on the timeline like any other: you can edit, repeat, label, export it and send it to the ESP32.
When you send it to the device, the Cycles (RPM) control closes the circle: with cycles above 0, one full pass of the signal is one engine revolution and the step time comes from there:
That way you sweep the range without redrawing anything. See Connect the device.

Where the parameters live

The parameters the signal was built with are stored with that mode’s project: reopening the window, they are as you left them.
