The dwell angle of the points of an ignition system for an internal combustion engine is digitized by logically gating clock pulses into counting circuits. The apparatus is particularly useful for providing a direct readout digital result or input data to a computer, and is particularly well suited for automated data acquisition and diagnostics of automobile engine performance.
