I don't understand....

The bottom display is as I would suspect, the primary voltage rises to the point wherein the plug fires and then the waveform drops to the level dictated by the coil secondary "fired" resistance (plug resistor, gap voltage drop, HV resistance wiring, ETC)of the secondary during the arc sustaining period.

The top display indicates the faster risetime, expected, but that following "flatline" is ratty enough to indicate an actual plug firing, TOO FLAT.

And WHAT was reduced by about 50%...?
