Anybody know what this is?
It has a dial for cylinders, a disal for meas. val. (measurement value, I
presume), switches for 4 cylinders and 8 cylinders, a switch with options
"car", "ci", and "sim", a bnc connector labeled "osc.
out", etc. The
display is 4 alphanumeric LEDs. On power up, it displays "Cn00" (where
'n' is all four vertical segments and the topmost horizontal segment).
I've posted pictures of the unit and some of the cards here:

There isn't any brand name on it and many of the boards look custom. A
few though look like like custom prints.
I appreciate any help.

Well, judging by the "W. Germany" label, it was probably made during the
mid-1980's (a check of the chip date codes can verify this).
It looks like it may be a pre-production beta prototype. Or that could be
the way they manufactured it.
As for its function, it obviously does some sort of car engine analysis.
Maybe some of our Deutsche freundin can help identify it?
