What is SureConnect connection test?
SureConnect can be used to determine whether an TiePie oscilloscope like the Automotive Test Scope ATS610004DW-XMSG, Automotive Test Scope ATS605004DW-XMS, Automotive Test Scope ATS5004DW, Automotive Test Scope ATS610004D-XMSG, Automotive Test Scope ATS605004D-XMS or Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D is properly connected to a test object.
Poor contact with a test object can be caused by:
- bad measurement leads / measurement probes
- poor contact in a connector due to oxidation
- a break in the wiring loom.
How do I perform a connection test?
The SureConnect connection test in Multi Channel oscilloscope software is easily performed by pressing the C hotkey.
When a channel is properly connected, the corresponding square colors green, see figure 1. The image shows checking of a connector with the help of a Back Probe TP-BP85 at channel 1.
The green square indicates that channel 1 is connected. If all connections are checked, the SureConnect window can be closed by pressing the hotkey C again or the Esc key.

- Coolant Temperature Sensor
- With a lab scope a coolant temperature sensor is measured from an engine in a warming up stage. The signal from the sensor is shown and can be downloaded. To help determining whether a coolant temperature sensor is functioning correctly, different possible deviations from the example signal are mentioned along with probable causes.
- inductive crankshaft sensor
- With a lab scope an inductive crankshaft sensor is measured during cranking of an engine, as well as during idling. The signal from the sensor is shown and can be downloaded. To help determining whether an inductive crankshaft sensor is functioning correctly, different possible deviations from the example signal are mentioned along with probable causes.
- ABS Sensor Inductive
- With a lab scope an inductive ABS sensor is measured on a wheel that is turned by hand. The signal from the sensor is shown and can be downloaded. To help determining whether an inductive ABS sensor is functioning correctly, different possible deviations from the example signal are mentioned along with possible causes.
