The QCSC DAS Difference
Most repair shop owners, master technicians, and administrators agree the key to cost effective-efficient diagnosis is knowledge. Typically the most capable diagnostician understands how things work together, in other words he understands the entire process. He understands the cycle, the enrichment process, and all of the feedback loops, etc. While QCSC DAS is capable of capturing isolated events, more importantly it is capable of recording and displaying processes.
When a technician understands processes and relationships he upgrades himself to a diagnostician or systems analyst. He is now capable of 'fixing more problems quicker while fully utilizing the appropriate equipment'. Especially in independent repair shops servicing a wide range of vehicles imagine a mechanic who can fly through some vehicles when scan data is available, but is stopped in his tracks when scan data is not available either because of vehicle design or the scanner needs to be upgraded again. So the real measure of speed or efficiency in modern diagnostics is measured by many diverse jobs, not by one, two, or five similar troubleshooting jobs.
The configurable QCSC DAS System takes advantage of the most powerful computer known to mankind, the human mind. The flexible QCSC DAS System brings the mechanic into the process by prompting the 'B' mechanic and/or allowing the 'A' diagnostician to setup the equipment to perform either a basic troubleshooting procedure or a sophisticated test.
QCSC DAS can be setup to perform vehicle specific diagnostics. This is important as vehicle-component manufacturing processes become better, a greater percentage of driveability problems will be rare or unique in nature. And because a significant percentage of driveability complaints are rare or require model specific knowledge, the diagnostician must be able to gather information from a wide range of sources. Probably the best tool for gathering information from a wide range of resources is the PC. And as you are probably aware, all manufacturers are now required to make service information available in an electronic format (PC).
Not only does QCSC DAS have powerful scope functions, simply using it enhances PC literacy. And as the cost of conventional service information continues to escalate, PC and internet literacy will enable you to shop for information. And because QCSC DAS is PC based, waveforms can be stored, faxed, printed or transmitted via modem. Every stored waveform becomes part of an in-house knowledge base. There is no need to worry about vague recollections, the PC provides exact recall.
The need to document your work is an issue on the horizon. Spokesperson for the National Association of Attorney Generals have already testified before Congress suggesting that when a part is replaced, the diagnostic procedure used should be documented. Thusly, QCSC DAS meets present and future legal and documentation needs. Furthermore, many customers enjoy seeing data that was generated by their car.
Waveforms and data recorded by QCSC DAS can be integrated into word processing and spreadsheet software. Thusly, in-house training sessions can be developed with PC based QCSC DAS. Many mechanics prefer in-house or one-on-one training.
The onslaught of tighter emissions standards, alternate fuel vehicles, electric and hybrid vehicles makes it more important than ever that the auto mechanic has a true understanding of how things work. In order to develop this understanding, the mechanic must be involved in the troubleshooting process.
Acknowledging the present outcry for qualified mechanics and mechanic training, we should recognize that traditional test equipment has not served our long term need for knowledge. QCSC DAS addresses this problem by bringing the mechanic into the troubleshooting process.
Considering both the variety and complexity of modern vehicles, we should recognize that mere training is not adequate for the modern diagnostician. Just like the systems analyst, he must be completely educated and knowledgeable in his field, beyond the scope of most training sessions. He must be heuristic, methodical, a searcher. PC based QCSC DAS puts the auto mechanic on the road to professional growth by introducing him to the challenge, intrigue, and fun of PCs, followed by the excitement of information searching and sharing on the internet.
