Supported Description
Standard No Home Multipoint
Batch Distributor Used for engines that run a standard trigger that
provides a single pulse for each cylinders
ignition event. i.e. A standard trigger for a 8-
Cylinder engine will have 8 pulses, each with an
edge that is always the same angle with respect
to TDC of the next cylinder to reach TDC.

Twin

Waste Spark Used for standard trigger engines that provide a
Home signal on the crank. This provides
enough information to do waste spark ignition
and semi-sequential fuel injection.
Twin distributor mode is only possible for 8
cylinder engines and 12 cylinder engines (where
supported) with this trigger.

with two tracks. One with large slots and
another with 360 small slots.

and all remaining slots are the same size. The
typical slot patterns for home window teeth are
2,2,2,8 for FJ20 engines or 2,2,2,2,2,8 for RB30
engines.

Direct Fire Type 3 Nissan triggers come with all unique
window sizes. A typical pattern is 4,8,12,16 and
is commonly found on SR20 and late RB series
engines.
Choosing Type 1,2 or 3 will work with the ECU
with a correctly setup ‘Home Window’
parameter. However choosing the correct type
may assist in faster starting with less cranking.
