NAVIGATING THE MTS 5200 (CONTINUED)

Analyzer Utilities (Tools)

ENABLE IGNITION DEMONSTRATION

The Enable Ignition Demonstration function allows for selection of a stored ignition waveform

program. This program operates in DI Secondary Ignition, Secondary Quick Check, and Primary

Ignition. This allows you to get better acquainted with the Engine Analyzer controls, allowing for

smoother operation when hooked to a vehicle. Access the stored waveform by selecting Analyzer

Utilities on the Main menu, then touching the Tools button.

Touch Enable Ignition Demonstration, and the waveform program is made available to DI

Secondary Ignition, Secondary Quick Check, and Primary Ignition. Press the Exit button twice to

return to the Main menu, then access the operating mode you want. A sample, ideal waveform is

displayed, and you are able to access the different functions in the selected operating mode and

see the effect on the waveform. To turn the Ignition Demonstration off, press Disable Ignition

Demonstration.

FILE MANAGER

The file management system of the MTS 5200 allows you to view and manipulate saved images,

snapshots, and text files by using the following functions:

• Viewing saved files

• Deleting one or multiple files

• Viewing detail information about a file

• Adding information about a file

• Formatting internal Flash

• Searching files for key words

• Upload screen captures (bitmaps) and FCI test log files to a PC

You access the file management system by touching Analyzer Utilities on the Main menu and

selecting File Manager.
