TWINPROBE has the following functions:
- 2-channel oscilloscope.
- Signal generator (through optional cable kit).
Oscilloscope
Two independent analogue channels, with an input range of up to ± 200V, equipped with SIV function for the correct interpretation of the signal plots.
SIGNAL GENERATOR
To simulate the pulses generated by sensors and reproduce the commands generated by control units.
AMPEROMETER
This function can be accomplished through oscilloscope function in combination with BICOR clamp.
OPERATIVE SOFTWARE IDC4 AND MSS
TwinProbe, like all TEXA instruments, use the operative environment IDC4, the diagnosis and self-diagnosis software with built-in databank and exceptional coverage of makes and models.
IDC4 is available both in a standard version for PC, MULTI PEGASO and AXONE 4, as well as in a POCKET version for portable viewing units of the AXONE line, but the software potential is the same in all. The wireless Bluetooth connection or connection via USB cable, allows for the transfer of data from the instrument to the viewing unit.
For those not having and not wishing to acquire the complete operative platform IDC4, MSS (Measurement System Software) is available, specific for TwinProbe, which enables only the functions of oscilloscope, battery probe, TNET, multimeter, pressure test and signal generator in manual mode.
SIV FUNCTION
The oscilloscope test carried out with TwinProbe guarantees excellent detection of values and a precise identification of the measurement; but what the mechanic most needs is an efficient system to help him correctly identify the graphs processed by the instrument. In order to declare if the signal analysed is correct or not, it is, however, necessary to have reference data, values that clearly show which are the critical points to be analysed.
This is why TEXA has developed a support that guides the mechanic throughout the test. The function developed is a software algorithm named S.I.V. (Signal Information Viewing). Thanks to this system, TwinProbe do not simply view the signal; as they take the measurements and acquire the data, they process all information, analyse it and supply an assessment in real time.
They are, in fact, able to process the signals of the various sensors or actuators concerned by the measurement and compare the data acquired with that present in the internal database, thereby immediately showing any signal anomalies. This mode can be used simply and quickly, starting from the wiring diagram of the system to be analysed or the list of components.
By selecting the device to be verified, we automatically activate the oscilloscope, which is already configured to correctly test the component.
A PROFESSIONAL OSCILLOSCOPE
TwinProbe are two instruments offering exceptional performance and extremely high reliability levels. Whilst TwinProbe incorporates a digital oscilloscope with a channel for 40 Msamples/sec or two channels for 20 Msamples/sec with inputs extended up to ± 200 Volts. This performance is distinctly higher than that offered by other solutions available on the market.
SIGNAL GENERATOR
TwinProbe are able to operate as a PWM signal generator for device testing. Tests can be carried out on mechanical components such as actuators, pressure switches of diesel engines, turbine blades or the EGR valve. Thanks to UNIProbe and TwinProbe, it can be assessed whether the anomaly depends on an electronic malfunction or a mechanical breakage. By using UNIProbe and TwinProbe in combination with the software IDC4, adjustments can be made and the effects observed by comparing them with the parameters proposed by the self-diagnosis
