That looks to be a very handy piece of kit’ maybe in a month you could do another review see how it stands up to some use it’s a tempting purchase and not that expensive 👍
A sine wave set at 1.0 volt peak 20 ms time would likely work with this tool or a dds signal generator , with same setting . one thing this tool does that a dds does not is resistance testing .
Darren is the 'Man' when it comes to new equipment that is ready to hit the shelves, good to see a live demo, a few may appear like 'Toys' but irrespective of their external appearance, can be very valuable, and essential in today's modern vehicles, where we can waste endless hours and day's scratching our heads for a quick solution, and yet begrudge spending a bit to invest in the right tool for the job.
Just joined your training site, have you anything on a good but not to expensive multimeter test lead set with banana connectors for options for back probes. Thanks
Great to have you! Not anything specific. I like to use generic 4mm terminated leads like the one in this video, and any back probe I can find. I prefer the slimmer pins. Prologics have the full kit available. Hantek have some individual break out probes that are ok too.
Ive got a little Chinese blue box one off EBay, cost me 30 quid, does all that and more with 60 preset fly wheel tooth count frequency’s on it. brilliant bit of kit 😊
@@wyccka If it’s that XH2, looks like it only does AC and square waveforms with frequency adjustment. No reference voltage out, variable resistance or PWM. Looks cool for the money though
@@MechanicMindset Thanks for your reply. Do you have some proper tool with higher currency output for this kind of test to recommend? (i have some possible option from local Czech company but price is 400 EUR + so trying to find some less expensive solution... )
@@pavel7311 not enough current in PWM mode. It’s only for sensor circuit. You could apply a varying voltage as it out puts up to 3 amps. Thats equivalent to PWM
I've been looking for a decent sensor simulator, the power probe form factor is cool and familiar. Possible to reliably actuate vvt solenoids to check phasing in cam crank waveforms?
Cheers mate. I know! She’s fine, we have our own workshop now so she can’t come with me. The dogs will be there once the floor paint dries (hope you like dogs too 😅)
@@MechanicMindset Glad 'wednesday' is ok,, thought you had 'traded ' her in for some more shiny tools?? 🤔,,, ye i'm ok with Dogs too,despite getting my fingers nipped a few times and my butt bitten by an angry Canine(when i was a wee lad and a newspaper delivery boy,,, New workshop sounds epic, hope it's all kitted out and accommodates everything that comes through the door's ? Tbh,no matter how much Time And expenditure,there is always another thing,,tools,,kit,,that are needed endlessly ,,That's life ,,i guess ,take care and keep up the great work. Bless 🙂😇👍
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO , I AM THINKING ABOUT TAKING YOUR CLASSES . MY QUESTION NOW IS , I HAVE THIS VERY SENSOR SIMULATOR PROBE CAN I USE THIS TO TEST A APP SENSOR AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT DOING THAT . THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi, that’s great. Yes, you can use it in a few ways. You can supply the sensor with a reference voltage as per wiring diagram. Depending on how the sensor works, you could also substitute the APP sensor for the ohm simulation. But not all APP sensors use potentiometers; they are contactless. In this case, you might be able to simulate the voltage going to the ECU. Although I’ve not tried that method.
