Launch Pg 2

HISTORY
The Launch company was founded in China in 1992 by brothers Louis and Charles Liu. Only 10 years later, it achieved a coveted listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Launch currently has manufacturing facilities in Shanghai and Shenzhen, where the new global H.Q. is based.

Launch is a major international player in the garage equipment arena. Its vehicle lifts are number 2 in the world, based on sales volume, with the number 1 slot firmly in the company's sights.

As for diagnostic scanners, less than 3 years after its introduction, the Launch X-431 is already the best selling scan tool in the world and rapidly becoming the tool of choice for all workshops.
Driving the X-431's bid for the top slot are no fewer than 200 full-time software engineers, dedicated to the X-431 alone and tasked with developing new and improved applications.

The Company is accredited to internationally recognized quality standards ISO9000:2000 and QS9000 and is the owner of numerous intellectual property rights for its technological innovations.

LAUNCH X431 CAN 2 CONNECTOR COMBINES THE ORIGINAL CAN CONNECTOR AND VOLVO CAN CONNECTOR, PLUS ADDS FUNCTIONALITY FOR NEW PROTOCOLS SUCH AS FIAT SINGLE WIRE CAN, NEEDED FOR SUCH FUNCTIONS AS FIAT STILO SERVICE RESET. FULL RANGE Can Bus (controller access network) Technology was developed and introduced in the 1980, s by Robert Bosch Ltd.

First used in high end models from manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz and BMW ,this technology is now in widespread use by a number of manufacturers, becoming more common on even the bottom end of the model range.

A Controller Area Network bus is a rugged serial bus designed for industrial environments.
Introduced by Bosch in 1986 for in-vehicle networks in cars, it is used in many applications including factory automation, building automation, aircraft and aerospace as well as use in cars, trucks and buses.
CAN bus replaced bulky wiring harnesses with a two-wire differential cable.

CAN networks can be used as a communication system for microcontrollers as well as an open communication system for intelligent devices.
The CAN serial bus system, originally developed for use in automobiles, is increasingly being used in industrial field bus systems.

In both cases some of the major requirements are: low cost, the ability to function in a difficult electrical environment, a high degree of realtime capability and ease of use.

Some users of Can bus technology, opted for CAN because they have to meet particularly stringent safety requirements.
Similar problems are faced by manufacturers of other equipment with very high safety or reliability requirements (e. g. robots, lifts and transportation systems).

The increasing use of Can Bus Technology has brought with it a requirement for scan tools that can access the many modules fitted to todays vehicles, access to main systems such as Engine, ABS and Airbag no longer being enough to diagnose faults across Can networks consisting of multiple Ecu,s, or

X-431 PCCENTER is an inclusive data management software kit integrating monitor, diagnosis, analysis, waveform display, update notice and remote service functions. Through the interfacing of X-431 scan tool and PC with the help of Bluetooth technology, it can display, monitor and process waveform and trouble code information in the diagnosis process. The vehicle information can go into the database together with the record of the car owner in support of future maintenance. In addition, X-431 PCCENTER comes complete with software upgrade information and upgrade tools. It will also allow the users to send their diagnostic information to the company website to get solutions from specialists.
Product character 1. Real-time Monitor: The real-time display of X-431 interfaces on a PC screen enables the technician to give instructions from PC for X-431 to carry out and to capture the interfaces for further analysis.
2. Diagnosis: Linking with X-431 and running the diagnostic program will bring waveform and trouble code on the PC screen, which can be studied together with the previous diagnostic information of the car.
3. Data Import: The diagnostic information can be saved in .x431 format and imported to PC for analysis. The same document can also be sent to Launch website to get help from specialists.
4. Notice for Upgrade: Notices for the release for the model and version information will be given.
5. Upgrade Tool: This function gives more convenience in the upgrade of X-431.
6: Maintenance Information: Electric diagrams of the electronic control system and layout of the common models are available.

X431-SensorBox
Product description X431-SensorBox is the accessory part working with X-431 main unit for sensor testing and simulating. Its major functions involve the simulation and test for all sensors on vehicles. Under simulation conditions, it can receive the control signal from X-431 main unit and carry out all the commands. Under test conditions, it can transfer the data back to the main unit in accordance with the control signal given by the main unit.

Under test condition, the latest data can be recorded in the form of curve. This puts the change of the test data right in front of your eyes and is highly significant for process analysis. In particular, it is good for the capture of remittent changes in the process.

Under voltage simulation condition, the user will be able to make any change to the voltage under simulation by dragging the icon indicating the voltage. This enables the simulation of any imaginable voltage change and gives more flexible and more accurate sensor simulation.

The full range of sensor parameters makes it possible to retrieve data in different ways. By presetting simulation and test range under all conditions, accurate and reliable performance can be resulted.

Powered by vehicle battery, SensorBox is widely adaptable to voltage change within the range of 8-28 volts. With the design of separated power circuits, measurement under all conditions can be made without removing the sensors from the vehicle. At the same time, the accessory adaptors give great convenience for the switching and testing of all the sensors.

The safety considerations in the design have given the SensorBox as well as the sensors under test perfect protection.

Connected with X-431 Main Unit to simulate and test various types
of sensors in vehicle.
Graphic Display
Under simulative mode it receives signals from Main Unit and then executes according to commands from Main Unit. Detailed analysis is presented by the output data in forms of graph or curve.
Voltage Sensing
Under testing mode it transmits test result to Main Unit according to requests from Main Unit. Also its voltage indication cursor can be moved to change voltage range any time and this flexibility of simulative changes will assure precise output of the sensor.
Searching Index: Various standard sensor parameters are available and can be searched by index in different ways.
Test flexibility: It can be recharged by vehicle battery and is suitable for a wide range of voltage from 8-28 Volts. Also it can function without separating the sensor from vehicle.
Safety Protection: Professional design to offer safety protection to itself and sensor of the vehicle.
