RPM display of automotive Quick Measure in Waveforms


TOIVI

Question

On the attached picture, the Math1 channel displays the secondary ignition waveform of a V8 engine, with the automotive quick measure "Cylinders".  (Math1 = -1*C1. The trigger source is cylinder 1, on the C2 channel.)
In a four-stroke engine, two crankshaft revolutions are required to ignite all of the  cylinders, so the displayed RPM (340.8) is the half of the real engine speed.

Thank You @attila

I went through all combinations, the RPM value is correct.
Just a note. This "Cycles" overlay is very useful for four-stroke engines. But in a two-stroke engine, there are no separate, consecutive Intake -> Compression -> Expansion -> Exhaust cycles.
The two strokes can be divided into three cycles: Expansion -> Exhaust&Intake -> Compression.
