Based on over ten years in-depth industry experience, Sorion has
launched the Rigel VCi3 the latest self contained diagnostics
controller. This is a low cost, powerful, yet easy to use tool ideally
suited for use in the assembly and diagnostics of automotive vehicles
and sub-assemblies.
Priced from only £690 there has never
been better value in CAN and LIN testing.
The Sorion Rigel VCi3 (Versatile Communications Interface) is a
micro-processor based system that is specifically designed for the
communicating, controlling and testing of bus based vehicle systems
and sub-systems. Having CAN, LIN, K Line and RS232 interfaces coupled
with analogue and isolated digital I/O the Rigel VCi3 can operate as a
standalone unit, or as a peripheral to a PC/PLC based system.
The unit (housed in a purposed designed rugged handheld enclosure
with rubber hand grips) incorporates a graphics LCD, eight user
configurable pushbuttons and three status LEDs. Power is taken from
either the vehicle (or sub-system) being tested or via the USB
interface, operating in the range of 8 - 30v and taking typically
less than 100mA. The Rigel VCi3 is ready to use within one second of
being switched on, removing the need and complexity of a battery
sub-system.
To program the Rigel VCi3 you simply connect to a PC via the
opto-isolated USB interface and run the supplied Integrated
Development Environment (RConsole). If you appreciate elegance and
simplicity of design then you will enjoy using Venom-SC, the
powerful language built into the Rigel VCi3. Venom-SC is a
full-featured, high level programming language designed for writing
embedded control applications. On board Flash, Battery backed and
optional SD Card memory means results / responses / logs are
retained after power-down and are available for recall or analysis
