The tester is requested to input data into the fi elds
displayed on the screen. This data will be stored in a

is written, a “test complete” dialog box pops up stating
“Use the Save or Print Button to Create the Report”.

Pressure Sensor
This screen is available only if the ABS ECU is an
Advanced EC-60
™ ECU. The pressure sensor screen
allows the user to monitor pressure sensors. Along
with this functionality, the user has the ability to perform
data acquisition of the pressures and save the results
to a comma delimited fi le. The pressures may be
monitored both graphically and numerically.
The pressure sensor window features are similar to the
wheel speed window. You can select which pressure
or pressures to display by having the check mark next
to pressure name. You can select graph type. The
information provides the amount of time data acquisition
has been active. The buttons and their functionality are
also the same as on the wheel speed screen.
