According to Cummins, its QuickCheck 5200 handheld (right) is designed to be connected to a vehicle using industry-standard J1939 or J1708 datalinks. The device includes two software applications, QuickCheck CE and PowerSpec CE, that allow retrieval of trip information as well as easy adjustment of engine parameters, the company says.Cummins says QuickCheck CE may be used to access "public" data from any manufacturer's engine that has electronic controls. The device can also retrieve data about a truck's transmission and braking systems, the company adds.
PowerSpec CE (above), meanwhile, is said to go further, allowing users to read and reset trip information and fault codes on Cummins-manufactured engines. Customers can read feature settings for the ECM, immediately adjust feature and trim settings with the Direct Engine Edit function, and transfer a "HotSpec" created by a desktop version of PowerSpec, the company says.
Cummins released few hardware specifications for the QuickCheck 5200, but says the device has a 3.8-inch color touchscreen display, as opposed to the previously released QuickCheck 5100, which has a monochrome screen. According to the company, the QuickCheck 5200 also has a longer-lasting battery, plus a processor twice as fast as the 203MHz Samsung S3C2410 used on the 5100.
The QuickCheck 5200 appears to have the same dimensions as the 5100, which measures 7.71 x 3.64 x 1.29 inches and weighs 16 ounces, according to Cummins. The earlier device features 64MB of RAM and 32MB of flash storage, but no word was provided regarding any storage upgrades on the 5200.
Further information
According to Cummins, the QuickCheck 5200 will be available in May. Further information may eventually be offered at the company's QuickCheck website, here.
