  • Learn more about what you can do with your Scan Tool through AECS Tools.

Quick Overview

  • From the start of the seminar we'll train you in scope basics. This includes how to make measurements and common measurement mistakes, understanding and storing patterns, instrument setup and locating vehicle data.
  • We’ll cover the different functions built into the scope, how to use them and how they apply to diagnose vehicles. This includes signal generator, data logger, current scope and resistance check.
  • We will dive deep into signal generation; how to build signals, modify a vehicle's signal (to check sensors), modify an adaption value, and how to record and send out a signal.
  • In detail we'll cover, ignition measurements (various scales), scope trigger settings and modes. One-shot mode for immobiliser diagnostics. Calibrate external instruments such as pressure sensors and G force sensors.
  • Over the two days, the theory will be practised in real-time, making this training seminar purely hands-on. You can use our ATS Scope or bring your own.

Comprehensive Overview

Scope training at AECS HQ

Getting Started
Initial setup, how to change settings such as Windows explorer on your laptop for successful use with the scope software. 

How to make measurements on the scope software and how to add measurements. Including adding comments to a pattern for your customer, future reference or notes for AECS Technical Support.

We’ll discuss how to store and print scope patterns, including how to attach a pattern to an email. 

Scope Setup
How to set up the instrument taskbar, change colours, workshop data, and default directories. We’ll show you easy tactics and keyboard shortcuts to measure, zoom in and out to make it even easier to get around the software. 

Measurement Modifications
We’ll show you different tool types incorporated in the scope and their different uses. We will look at current measurements and their meaning including glow, relative compression and diagnostic current.

We will teach you easy ways to modify the volt scale, sample speed, buffer size and sample rate, including why you will need to do this. 

Measurement Methods
We’ll discuss the importance of scope trigger settings and how to set up arm and fire trigger level points. 

You will learn the importance of offset and differential measurement methods.  Both have merits, however, one comes with a warning. 

We take a look at two types of current clamps, including the importance of calibration between the current clamp and scope and best practice around magnetic fields.

Signal Generator
We start with the basics of a signal generator and how to build signals, we’ll then take it up a level and teach you how to modify a vehicle’s signal to check sensors, how to modify an adaption value and how to record and send out a signal.

One-Shot & Dyno
We’ll show how fast your ATS Scope is with One-shot mode which can be used for immobiliser diagnostics. Included is how to calibrate external instruments like pressure sensor or Dyno.
