Abstract:
1. A data collector for collecting and storing data related to at least one condition of an internal engine component during an engine test, comprising: at least one sensor for sensing at least one condition of the internal engine component and for generating at least one signal corresponding to said sensed condition; at least one analog to digital converter in electrical communication with said at least one sensor for converting said signal into at least one digital signal; at least one memory for storing data; a clock; at least one processor in electrical communication with said at least one analog to digital converter, said at least one memory and said clock, wherein said at least one processor processes said at least one signal and stores data corresponding to said at least one digital signal on said memory; and at least one power source electrically connected to said at least one sensor, said at least one analog to digital converter, said at least one memory, said at least one processor and said clock, and wherein said sensor, said at least one analog to digital converter, said at least one memory, said at least one processor and said clock are configured to be substantially the only devices that draw electricity from said at least one power source during the engine test.
