At EASE, we realize how important it is to record data for long periods of time to capture intermittent problems not just seconds or several minutes, as most of our competitors allow.
Have you ever tried to capture data on a nagging intermittent problem with someone else's tool, using only a 10 second record time? With EASE PC Scan Tools, recording time is limited only by the size of your computer's hard drive. Given the memory size of a PC, you can record for hours, not seconds making sure you capture that pesky glitch whenever it happens.
Record unlimited data - With the EASE PC Scan Tool, recording time is limited only by the size of your computer's hard drive.
Recorded file database - Each recording in the database will show what vehicle it was recorded from, when it was recorded, what parameters were recorded and any notes you entered. Recordings can be easily retrieved again.
Add notes or keywords per recording - Using full word-processing capability.
Exchange files with other users - With the EASE PC Scan Tool, recorded data files can be easily exchanged with anyone in the world via the internet. Technician groups exist that were formed to help each other with problem diagnosis. Through the interchange of data, diagnostics can be done more quickly and efficiently, saving both time and money.
Export Files To ASCII (text) - For use in other applications.
Large data buffer - The EASE PC Scan Tool has a built-in memory buffer that continuously stores data even when the Scan Tool is not in Record mode. If you are not recording but something happens and you want to return and look at it, you can easily capture the data stored in the memory buffer. By having this built-in memory buffer in addition to recording capability, there is little chance that an intermittent or other problem will get past you.
Playing back the data is just like using the scan tool on a live vehicle. All scan tool features and capabilities work on a previously recorded file. Playback speed and direction (forward or reverse) can also be controlled.
You can record known good sensors and parameters on each vehicle that comes into your shop and store them in the Recorded File Database. If that vehicle comes in with a problem, you can easily compare faulty sensor and parameter readings to the known good readings from your database, making your correct diagnosis a much simpler and accurate task.
The EASE Snapshot feature allows the user to record data values of multiple selected parameters at any time. This can be done as many times as necessary by simply pushing a pre-selected function key to record these values.
Markers can be made during a recording to signify events by pushing a pre-selected function key. If a Marker is done, the technician can scroll through the recording until a vertical colored line is seen in the data that marks the spot where the marker was chosen. This allows the technician to go directly to where the problem occurred or any other point marked without wasting time searching.
