The ADPScan-1 Pro™ Section
At Automotive Diagnostics & Publishing we engage is the research & development of test equipment. We are the only company that develops diagnostic equipment from a technical/repair perspective. We realize that most "Tool & Equipment" companies carry lots of overpriced equipment. Our company was founded by an auto-tech, so we know what you go through in purchasing the right tools. We fully develop and extensively test our products before giving it our stamp of approval. So what you need is what you get, at an affordable price.
Future scan tool software solutions will include the functionality and application of technology that will help identify what's wrong with your vehicle and not just give you data-stream and codes. The idea is to have a fully integrated diagnostic, information and invoicing system that'll help repair shops pin-point the problem, log it and generate the appropriate invoice for the repair shop. This is what we call a fully digitally integrated repair shop. The advantage is fast vehicle repair turnaround and customer satisfaction.

What is the ADPScan-1 Pro and how is it different from all other OBD-2 diagnostic systems on the market?
The ADPScan-1 Pro is a PC based (Laptop or PC) UBS/Serial software system that will scan a vehicle, pull-up the relevant information from its internal database and then perform the appropriate BUILT-IN AUTOMATED TESTS to determine the problem. Many (expensive) aftermarket OBD-2 scanners have a form of internal database or troubleshooter. But, the ADPScan-1 Pro goes far beyond that. It's designed to take the difficult aspects of PID analysis out of the repair process. For example, the tool comes with an assortment of built-in tests (Buttons) that will analyze the data-stream (PIDs) and tell you what the problem is. You can do a series of tests without even looking at the data/PIDs. On top of it, during test mode the ADPScan-1 Pro will sample the data/PIDs at a much faster rate (faster than anything on the market) since it doesn't have to display the data each time. As soon as the test is completed (average 100 seconds) the ADPScan-1 will analyze and come up with a recommendation. This means that the unit has built-in intelligence behind it. If you have all your OBD-2 information at hand, you won't even have to go back to your normal information computer and spend time there. The ADPScan-1 will output normal scan-values, codes info, and code setting criteria just at the touch of a button. No TIME WASTED in information overload search. Information retrieval is fast, easy and tailored to the data you've retrieved from your vehicle. The SDPScan-1's database in vastly huge and covers many aspects of diagnostics and it will also keep growing.
Graphing is also a snap. How many times have you been overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and difficulty in using graphing. Well, the ADPScan-1 Pro has ALL AUTOMATED GRAPHING capabilities. All you have to do is choose from a series of buttons and you can graph the data for a specific fault, such as lean condition, O2 sensors, EGR fault, MAF fault, converter fault, etc. Both the tests section and the graphing sections are fully automated. You don't have to learn how to graph PIDs, just press a button. Plus, the ADPScan-1 is a complete OBD-2 scanner meeting all the latest SAE Specifications. These specifications include a maximum of 76 PIDs (which include from O2 sensors, to EVAP pressure, EGR Error, AFR-Air Fuel Ratio Sensors, and on-the-fly monitor status). Up to 76 PIDs are now supported by the latest SAE Standard, which includes many PIDs only retrievable by OEM tools before. The ADPScan-1 Pro supports all SAE codes as well, which include P0, P1, P2 P3, C0, C1, C2, C3, B0, B1, B2, B3, U0, U1, U2, U3. P codes are powertrain, C codes are chassis, B codes are body and U codes are network faults. Keep in mind that this is the new SAE regulation and most vehicles are not yet made to support all these codes. The important fact is that the ADPScan-1 Pro is already capable of it. A protocol is simply a communication language. The ADPScan-1 Pro fully supports all 9 OBD-2 Protocols (J1850PWM, J1850VPW, ISO 9141-2, ISO14230-4 (fast), ISO14230-4 (slow), CAN (11/500), CAN (29/500), CAN (11/250), CAN (29/250). Although CAN (11/250) is not seen yet on automobiles, this unit is set for that. So you are set for the future. No adapters are needed to make the ADPScan-1 Pro CAN Ready. By 2008 all vehicles have to speak the CAN protocol (language).
What do you get when you buy the ADPScan-1 Pro. You get the vehicle interface (box), OBD-2 connector, PC/Laptop connector/cable, software CD ROM, DVD Video on how to use the tool, and a high quality plastic molded case. The tool is very easy to use and setup in the computer. The unit runs on Windows XP and Vista only.
You can order a free high-res DVD-video before you make your decision. This tool will change the way you repair you vehicles. It will simply let you concentrate on the actual repair. Don't be overwhelmed by information overload and complex systems. The ADPScan-1 will help you deal with all OBD-2 performance, emissions and electrical faults related repair issues.

HOW IS THE ADPScan-1 Pro DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MARKET?
*) (Update 10.9.72) A new 3D graphing section has been added, which allow for extensive 3D graphing of all PIDs. 3D graphing is a way to view a massive amount of data over a shorter period of time. 3D graphing also lets the technician discover problems that would otherwise be impossible to detect.
*) (Update 10.9.72) A new more compact look for the different sections of the software. This is in preparation for future expansion of the software features. The new TAB based navigations allows for more sections to be compacted in the same screen. This version also makes it easy to bind the ADPScan-1 Pro software to the computer, making it unnecessary to type serial number every time.
*) (Update 10.9.72) This upgrade also adds Web Catalog support and lots of streamlining to the software to make it run smoother. A new section called SBI (Scanner Bureau of Investigation) has been added to make it easier for technicians to report data-stream discrepancies. All you do is copy and paste this data into an e-mail and send it to us.
*) (Update 10.9.71) Now covers all OEM codes (P1XXX) for Domestics, Asian and European vehicles.
*) (Update 10.9.71) The new Video-CODE technology. Simply retrieve a code and press the Video button for a condensed Video Troubleshooter 1 to 4 min. long on the faulty code that you're working on. All Videos are built right into the ADPScan-1 Pro.
*) (Update 10.9.71) Each Section now has a Help-Video. Know how to use the tool right away. no guessing.
*) (Update 10.9.71) The BIGGIE MODE is here. This mode allows 4 large PID windows to be viewed from afar. Included by popular demand.
*) (Update 10.9.71) Extensive retooling of the software was done, to allow smoother and faster vehicle communication.
*) (Update 10.9.71) PID or Parameter Video Troubleshooters are now available. Don't know how to use a PID or Data-Stream Parameter, just choose the PID in question and click the Video-PID button. All from within your scanner software.
*) (Update 10.9.7) Larger PID Screen was added on the "Large Mode" to allow easy viewing.
*) (Update 10.9.7) PID textual troubleshooter explains why and how to use each PID.
*) (Update 10.9.7) More Generic Code Definitions were added. Combined, over 6000 Generic and OEM codes are covered. Making it the most complete Code Database in any diagnostic system.
*) (Update 10.9.7) Complete printing capabilities (Print Report) is now available. Get and print all codes, data PID, and CSC by just clicking a button.
*) The ADPScan-1 Pro is not only a scanner, but an entire diagnostic system. It has a built in database accessible at the touch of a button reducing the amount of time you spend on the information computer..
*) It will analyze the data stream and tell you what the faulty component may be or the faulty area that needs your attention.
*) Fully AUTOMATED TESTING of different components and conditions, such as Lean Condition, Clogged Converter, MAF, O2 Sensors, etc. The amount of tests will increase with future updates. The next update is FREE when you buy the unit now. (Latest Release 10.9.7)
*) The unit will tell you what's the most likely cause for your faulty issue and gives you pointers on how to proceed.
*) Fully automated graphing. You don't have to set any controls. Just click a button and done.
*) NO LEARNING CURVE involved in diagnosing an OBD-2 system. If you can click on a button, you can use the ADPScan-1 Pro.
*) OUT-OF-RANGE scanner parameters (PIDs) flagging feature. This is the only diagnostic system on the market that'll FLAG any OUT-OF-RANGE PIDs. If out of range, the small PID readout screen will turn RED, giving you a VISUAL representation that something's wrong.
*) Simply the fastest OBD-2 Scanner on the market. The ADPScan-1 Pro has 4 SPEED settings, a Slow, Normal, Turbo and Hi-Definition PID scan speed. In Hi-Definition the ADPScan-1 acts almost like an oscilloscope for O2 sensors, RPM, TPS, etc. Just remember that all scanners will give you whatever the ECM is seeing and you're not directly connected to the component.
*) Super fast Current and Pending code retrieval, w/built in code setting criteria database.
*) Ability to Graph (in Hi-Definition Speed). The Hi-Definition setting may not work on older OBD-2 ECMs, since these were much slower computers. High speed graphing will become a main stay graphing and one reason why we're changing to CAN systems. The ADPScan-1 Pro already has the Hi-Speed setting NOW, if the vehicle's ECM is fast enough. Many current models are capable of supporting Hi-Definition PIDs Scanning and graphing.
*) This is the only scan tool that allows you to change the tool's speed in the middle of the diagnostics. So that you can retrieve codes at one speed and view PIDs at another if so desired. Why? If you can view PIDs faster, you can then pick-up on the pesky fast glitches, such as an intermittently faulty ECT (coolant temp. sensor), O2 sensor, TPS blind spot, etc. By graphing the RPM you may even be able to capture a drop in engine speed due to a faulty crank-sensor unit. The possibilities are huge. But you may want to choose the slower speed to retrieve codes. This way you can do the slow stuff and graph in hi-speed.
*) On newer systems you have the ability to seal the EVAP Vent valve and also view a GRAPH of the fuel-tank pressure sensor as it rises and drops in pressure when doing the EVAP Test. Easy to view translates to easy to diagnose.
*) Your update is totally free and will also include MODE-6 decodes, Test Mode, and 3-D Graphing.
*) Simply put the ADPScan-1 Pro features can be summarized as follows: fast scanning, built-in intelligence, automated graphing set-ups and tests, built-in database, easy-EVAP testing, out-of range PID flagging feature, test analysis guiding you in the right repair direction, multi-speed scanning which is the essence and one reason of why we're changing to CAN, completely ready for all future protocols (languages).
UPDATES in the future. That is the biggest complaint from technicians in the field today. Updates are very expensive!!! Not with the ADPScan-1. Updates will be offered at a price that won't brake the bank for any tech or shop. This tool also has everything else that any OBD-2 scanner should have, such as data-stream, codes, pending codes, erase codes, monitor status, etc.
Note: You must have a Windows XP or Vista computer to run the ADPScan-1 Pro. The software WILL NOT RUN on windows 2000, 98 or older.
