Autodiagnos AB expands the capabilities for multi-tester pro diagnostic tool

Autodiagnos AB (Frankfurt, Germany) today announced a major enhancement of the Multi-Tester pro, its flagship diagnostic tool for the independent automotive repair shop market. The announcement was made at the Automechanika show in Frankfurt, a biannual tradeshow attended by over 160,000 people from 175 countries.

Autodiagnos AB is a unit of GenRad, a provider of performance-assurance technologies, headquartered in the U.S. and with offices worldwide. The Multi-Tester pro has serial diagnostics, parallel diagnostics, and ignition testing. The selectable diagnostics allow service technicians to interface with multiple vehicle models in independent repair shops worldwide.

Also being introduced at Automechanika is the new MultiProbe, a mulitchannel graphic multimeter option for the Multi-Tester pro. This new accessory helps pinpoint vehicle electronic system defects, presenting measured signals in graphical or numerical formats for the service technician. The MultiProbe's accuracy makes it possible to troubleshoot defects to the component level.

Autodiagnos will also highlight the following products at Automechanika 2000:

  • ProFile PC software, an application that documents all diagnostic work performed on a vehicle. The resulting documentation gives service technicians and vehicle owners an easy-to-read printout that shows repair data in a before-and-after format.

  • Ford serial application, an application covering European-built Fords.
  • BMW serial application which is broad coverage for the BMW technician. The application covers BMW cars as new as the 1999 year models.
