Abstract
A vehicle data acquisition and analysis system which acquires digital and analog input signals and analyzes information relating to vehicle component operation characteristics. A digital acquisition card is connected to at least one vehicle component to acquire a digital input signal data, and an analog acquisition card is connected to at least one vehicle component to acquire an analog input signal data. A connector (e.g., a bus) that provides a connection between the digital and analog cards synchronizes the digital and analog data acquisition when the acquisition of one card triggers the acquisition of the other card. The synchronized data is further processed upon the user'"'"'s request to display the related vehicle characteristics.
