Abstract:  
The data analysis and display system of the present invention utilizes a microcomputer in combination with a CRT and a multiplicity of transducers for monitoring process parameters in the operation of a reciprocating device having a linear stroke. A profile of the process parameters are generated as a function of stroke length, stored in a non-volatile memory and graphically displayed on the CRT as master traces for comparison with current data profiles.
