DEC SuperScan  

Introduction

PC Laptop based Electronic Scan Tool

The new SuperScan was developed with the latest technology, for the diagnosis of onboard electronics of new vehicles.

Through a simple connection between the scan tool and the vehicle's diagnostic connector, you will see on your PC screen, clearly displayed information on stored Data Trouble Codes and Working Parameters i.e. Coolant Temperature, Ignition Timing and Oxygen Sensor, among others.

Technical

The only requirement for you to install this software on your PC is to have Windows 95 / 98 / XP / 2000 installed and a free serial COM port to connect the equipment.

First you install the AutoScan Manager that contains the basic components of the system, and then you install the Upgrade Modules that add the particular diagnosis functions of each vehicle.

Upgrade modules include a CDROM with the software, the Connection Cables used in each vehicle and the User Manual.

Once the communication is established with the ECU, you have the following diagnostic functions:

  • Read Stored Data Trouble Codes
  • Erase Trouble Codes
  • Read Working Parameters (Live Data)
  • Perform Actuators Test
  • Adjustments & Adaptations (depends on ECU)
  • Also there is the possibility to print a list of found codes for handing to your customers.

Parameter reading is of great importance for diagnosis when fault codes can't guide us to the problem. Here you will see the working parameters of the different components of the onboard system (sensors, actuators and calculated values) with Key On - Engine Off, and with the engine running.

Each value display also indicates the maximum and minimum value reached, and the possibility of plotting the value fluctuating.

Placing the cursor over the value, it indicates the ideal value taken from the service manual for that component.

You can also record samples of all parameters for later printing.
