sensor type used at the input.  

 

 The “print” key: 

This  key  allows  the  results  to  be  printed  or  transferred  to  a  central 

computer in a technical testing centre for example.  

III.5.3.Displays the selected operating speed mode: 

Each time the opacity program is launched, the operator knows the operating speed mode that is 
selected, 

 

 

RPM mode can be changed by pressing the rpm key 

 

 

 

« E.O.B.D »: 

This mode will retrieve the RPM value from the vehicle embedded computer. 

 

« Battery »:  this mode will retrieve the RPM value from battery signal (noise). 

 

« Vibration »:  this mode will retrieve the RPM value from engine vibration. 

 

 In case of difficulties to get a coherent value, turn the high beam lights on as well as the 

rear defrosting system and turn all the other tools off.
