glow plug performance test bench (or system)
Check the reference below. This would seem to be what you are talking about.
I woudn't use the word 'ignition' - sounds too much like spark plugs in a gasoline engine.

My thoughts regarding 'warm' were that glow plugs are usually tested by simply checking the continuity. Since the only 'performance' glow plugs deliver is to get hot and 'glow' a performance test would, perforce, be a 'hot test'. Therefore the word performance here takes the function of the word 'warm' in the German term.

Entweder wird nur getestet, ob überhaupt Strom durch die Dinger fließt (continuity test), die dabei "nebenbei" auch warm werden. Oder es wird u.a. das genauere Temperaturverhalten geprüft. Dann läge Richard mit seinem Vorschlag richtig.
