The system operational properties and measurement methodology is aimed the online marine diesel engine applications. The design of engine combustion pressure recording system is based on piezoelectric sensors set that comprises quartz pressure element and charge amplifier, mounted on the indicator pipes, equipped with valves. The required crank degree signal is obtained from shaft encoder that is installed on the test bed engine shaft-line (free end of the hydraulic break). The encoder’s TDC dedicated reference pulse is able generate simultaneously at the cylinder 1 and 6 in TDC position. The accuracy of the static crankshaft position calibration was evaluated. Additionally, a complex timing system was developed for individual cylinder TDC and crankshaft positioning definition. Before real time data acquisition starts, the number of engi
