UNIProbe is the most complete and performing solutions comprising 6 different instruments inside the same device:

OSCILLOSCOPE

With four independent analogue channels, complete with SIV function for interpreting the measure signal (with IDC4 software).

BATTERY PROBE

For testing the battery, and analysing and checking the entire starting and charging system.

TNET

For electrical testing and analysis of automotive communication networks (CAN, VAN. LIN).

SIGNAL GENERATOR

To simulate the pulses generated by sensors and reproduce the commands generated by control units.

MULTIMETER

For voltage, resistance and current measurements.

PRESSURE TESTER

for checking fuel and turbocompressor pressure on all vehicles.

OPERATIVE SOFTWARE IDC4 AND MSS 

UNIProbe  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 UNIProbe, 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 UNIProbe 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 analyzed is correct or not, it is, however, necessary to have reference data, values that clearly show which are the critical points to be analyzed.

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, UNIProbe  do not simply view the signal; as they take the measurements and acquire the data, they process all information, analyze 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 analyzed 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

UNIProbe instrument offering exceptional performance and extremely high reliability levels. UNIProbe is able to detect 20 Msamples/sec with two channels active or 10 Msamples/sec with four channels active and a maximum incoming voltage of ± 50 Volts. This performance is distinctly higher than that offered by other solutions available on the market.

HIGH AND LOW VOLTAGE TESTS

UNIProbe, combined with specific cable kits, is able to measure and analyse both high and low voltage signals, with exceptional simplicity and efficiency. The test on the high voltage line (namely that which connects all electronic components operating with voltages of thousands of volts) allows, for example, for the testing of petrol engine ignition systems, monitoring the electrical impulses that reach the coils or spark plugs. With regards to hybrid engines that have been on the market for years, they are also fitted with 200 Volt power modules.

The measurements taken with an oscilloscope, even the most precise, in any case translates into a graph that the mechanic must be able to analyse. This is why UNIProbe has been developed as a support tool in interpreting data, thanks to specific software.

For low voltage tests, for example, acquiring the signal of a butterfly potentiometer, the software shows the typical bell curve of the acceleration and, if micro-interruptions are present, blocks the image, showing the presence of the anomaly on the graph.

BATTERY, IGNITION AND RECHARGE TEST

With the Battery Probe function and the BPP kit, UNIProbe is able to quickly and easily carry out a complete test of the elements and components of the system comprising the starter motor, alternator and battery, thereby reaching a certain diagnosis and reliable repair. The BPP kit is equipped with four analogue inputs and two connectors for connection with the current clamp. A semi-automatic diagnosis system analyses the ignition system as a whole (therefore the individual components and wiring) in order to verify the origin of the fault. On the basis of the measurements obtained, the software therefore provides a possible diagnosis, indicating the most likely cause of malfunction. This translates into a report that can be printed and delivered to the customer and which provides details of the measurements and checks performed.

ELECTRICAL FUNCTION TEST OF NETWORKS

In the network communication BUS (e.g. CAN, VAN, LIN), electrical and electronic anomalies may not depend on the systems and components, but rather be the consequence of physical damages to the electronic network. This may occur, for example, following damage or physical deterioration of wiring. In other cases, on the other hand, it may depend on accidental interruptions of a wire during repair or assistance. It may, finally, derive from auxiliary ECUs and devices that have not been correctly installed. In all cases, thanks to UNIProbe with the integrated TNET module, the electrical analysis can be carried out directly on the wiring of various network types, with the test probes.

MULTI-METER FUNCTION

UNIProbe allows voltage, current and resistance to be measured with the utmost easiness; it also allows diode (to determine whether or not a diode is correctly functioning and how it is being polarised), continuity tests (to determine the presence of short circuit between two terminals) and data logger (to monitor slow signals such as voltage or variable resistances and record changes over time. As for TwinProbe, it is possible to measure current through a BICOR clamp.

SIGNAL GENERATOR

UNIProbe 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.
