10.5 SIGNAL GENERATOR
The use of software SIGNAL GENERATOR allows to simulate some input
and output signals of the electronic control unit used in cars.
Particularly, with the use of this software, it is possible to send signals
simulating the ones produced by sensors to the electronic control units.
Additionally it is possible to simulate the control signal (output power signal)
through which the control units control the activation of some actuators
(including but not limited to: solenoid valves, motors, throttle housing).
These functions, if used in an improper, faulty or negligent way
could, in some cases, damage the systems under test.
It is the user's responsibility to make sure that the signals
injected are compatible with the specifications and the minimum and
maxiumum adjustment parameters declared by the vehicle's builder
for that specific component under test.
The signals generator can be used in the following modes:
• PWM 5 V
• PWM CURRENT DRIVE
Use mode has to be selected through software and terminals have to be
used as explained afterwards.
To use the functions of the signals generator it is necessary to use
the specific optional cables kit.
