The timing information corresponds to the machine kinematics. The cycle of each reciprocating machine is divided in to several phases. These phases are separated by kinematic events. The figure below shows the typical cycle of a 4-stroke diesel engine with the different phases: | |||

The duration of each phase is defined by the valves opening and closing. The position of these events is given in angle relatively to the Top Dead Center (TDC) where the piston is at top of the cylinder or Bottom Dead Center (BDC) where the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder. | |||
This information is generally contained in the timing diagram provided by the engine manufacturer. | |||
EngineDiag supports the ability to enter the timing diagram information to be used in the analysis. <br> | |||
