4.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This instrument is a battery-operated 2-channel lab scope, advanced true rms graphing multimeter (GMM) designed
expressly for use in the automotive service market. The main purpose of this instrument is to provide advanced
troubleshooting capabilities for automotive service technicians in an easy-to-operate format.
This instrument offers the following features:
• A 25 Mega-sample/Second (one channel minimum) sample rate for rapid data updates.
• Lab scope signal patterns.
• True RMS Graphing Multimeter (GMM) measurements and graphs.
• A unique “Glitch Snare” mode which captures, displays and optionally saves abnormal signal patterns in the
Scope mode of the COMPONENT TESTS only when they occur.
• Preset tests that enable the user to check the majority of automotive sensors, actuators and systems easily and
