True a piezo pulse does decay over time and true there is ringing on top of the signal caused by the needle bouncing on the seat in the injector among other system resonances, never the less the entire injection event can be discerned.
Interesting.. And did that signal change based on load? Thats the test right there. Is it possible for you to capture a idle signal and post it along with a full load signal and post that image as well?
