Using the Scope Module Extension Cable

In situations where the testing connection points are not easily accessible, the Scope Module easily separates from the diagnostic tool (connected via extended length USB cable) allowing you to monitor the results remotely. This increases the range of mobility for the diagnostic tool while monitoring signals on the test vehicle. Use the Type A/B USB cable, which is provided with your kit, to make the connection.

When used remotely, the scope module must be connected to the lower (black) USB jack on the diagnostic tool.

As general practice, the Scope Module should only be undocked from the diagnostic tool when it is off. To prevent accidental loss of data, make it a practice to first save the current data if desired, then select either the Power Off or Back icon from the Scope Multimeter toolbar to stop meter operation. Power Off saves the current settings, but does not save data.

If the Scope Module:
○ Is undocked from the diagnostic tool when it is on, or
○ Is exposed to a electro static discharge (ESD) while it is being used
remotely

the following will occur:

• Communication between the diagnostic tool and the Scope Module
will be terminated.
• All current data and settings will be lost.
• An error message (e.g. Meter/Scope Not Found) will display to
indicate that Scope Module communication has terminated.

When communication is reestablished (after a communication loss), the Scope Multimeter application is restarted and the Scope Multimeter main menu page is displayed.

► To setup the Scope Module for remote operation:

1. Depress the Scope Module release tab located on the top of the diagnostic tool (Figure 9‑4).

2. Slide the Scope Module off of the diagnostic tool.
3. Locate the USB jack on the bottom of the Scope Module (Figure 9‑5).

4. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the jack on the Scope Module.

When used remotely, the Scope Module must be connected to a USB jack on the diagnostic tool.

5. Connect the rectangular end of the USB cable to a USB port on the diagnostic tool.

The Scope Module is now ready for remote use.
