The Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D is a four channel automotive oscilloscope with differential inputs. Besides the normal features of a professional USB oscilloscope, the Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D has some specific features like SureConnect connection test and resistance measurement that make it an ideal instrument for automotive measurements.

Differential inputs

The Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D is a four channel automotive oscilloscope with differential inputs. With the differential inputs it is possible to measure four totally unrelated signals simultaneously. It is no longer possible to create a short circuit through the oscilloscope or through a second device connected to your computer and to the car, like e.g. a fault code scanner. So no risk of damaging the car, the oscilloscope or the computer.

Connection test

The SureConnect connection test feature of the Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D tells you immediately whether your test probe or clip actually makes electrical contact or not. No more doubt whether your probe doesn't make contact or there really is no signal.

This is useful when surfaces are oxidized and your probe cannot get a good electrical contact. Simply activate the SureConnect and you know whether there is contact or not. Also when back probing connectors in confined places, SureConnect immediately shows whether the probes make contact or not.

Resistance measurement

Many automotive sensors are based on variable resistors. Use your Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D in the resistance setting to test them, no more need to take a separate ohm meter. Resistance values can be displayed as a number, but it is also possible to display the resistance variation in time, in a graph.

Fully supported by ATIS

All features of the Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D are fully supported by ATIS, the Automotive Test and Information System. Select a specific diagnostic measurement in ATIS, click the measure button and the Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D will be completely setup for that specific measurement and ready to perform it.
