The Omitec PDA2100A Ignition Analyzer is the only hand-held full function engine analyzer . It includes 6 tools in one powerful, easy -to-use, hand-held unit.

The base PDA2100A provides the following functions:

  • 4 channel Lab Scope
  • 6-panel, 4-channel, digital Multi-Meter
  • Sensor specific Autometers
  • Secondary and Primary Ignition Scope for conventional (DI) and Electronic Ignition (EI) engines
  • Complete Ignition Analyzer with raster and parade displays of primary/secondary or power/waste
  • Full Function Engine Tester
  • Milliamp probe for low current inductive testing

PDA 100a jpegThe Omitec PDA2100A is a revolutionary diagnostic product that provides a wide range of automotive diagnostic functions at a low cost. Diagnostic functions such as ignition analysis, cylinder efficiency, oscilloscope and others are for the first time available in a convenient, integrated hand held and low cost package.

Its modularity allows for expansions and enhancements in the field, in a cost effective manner. Scanner, four or five gas analysis and even more capabilities are planned and are now in development.

The Omitec PDA2100A won the 1995 Top 20 Tools Award from Motor Magazine.

Additional hardware options and software modules are available for the PDA2100A.
