Electrical geniuses, your country needs you! (Well I do)

I'll bet one of you bright sprarks could help me out with a problem I've having. Suppose I want to 'intercept' an injector pulse. I.e. I want to monitor the signal, and reproduce it. (a la Racelogic TC).

 

How would I go about doing this from an electrical point of view? Obviously I have to condition the signal first so that I can actually monitor it with an MCU, but how do I go about sending the original signal on it merry way (but only if I choose to)?

 

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question or doesn't even make sense. My grasp of electronics is rather feeble. No point beating myself over the head with it when this board seems to contain all the knowledge known to mankind ;)

 

 

Many thanks,

Graham

Surely you can just connect to the appropriate line and feed this to the input of an A to D converter, guessing that you want to do some A to D conversion at some point anyway.

 

The only thing to consider would be some sort of zener protection incase of a voltage spike.

 

Or am i missing something wholly obvious.
