1. DESCRIPTION
Adapter MSG MS013 СОМ is used jointly with the test bench for diagnostics of alternators or with
the voltage regulator tester.
The device simulates control signals for a tested voltage regulator. It contains integrated physical
and program interfaces of all actually existing control modes of modern alternators. Adapter is
controlledbyclockencoderwithbuttontoinstall andchangeparameters.Installationandparameter
data appear on LCD display.
Thetesterpossesses the opportunityto changeexistingandimplementnewfunctionsandinterfaces
in the software. Update download is carried out through USB port. Built-in power supply gives an
opportunity to use the device as high-precision ohmmeter or generation of arbitrary PWM signals.
