Description:

The NGS is the heart of a new system that gives automotive technicians the power, speed and versatility of a personal computer for servicing vehicles. Because of its hand-held design, the NGS can be used like a scan tool. But that's where the similarity ends!

NGS is the first tool to meet OBD II requirements, and will be OBD II certifiable for use in future emissions testing with all vehicle makes. The NGS is a hand-held scan tool with a data stream recorder, signal/sensor simulator and built-in DVOM. Think of it as a personal diagnostic computer for powertrain and non-powertrain diagnostics. Find the cause and effect of intermittents using the record function to track data stream signals in real time. The NGS is the only hand held tool that graphs and displays these recordings.

The NGS was the factory scan tool for Ford/Mazda up until recent years (95-05).

-Performs the functions of a standard scan tool.
-OBD II compatible.
-Full function Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM): volts, ohms, frequency, pulse width and duty cycle.
-Downloads information to peripheral equipment (i.e. analyzers, modems, printers).
-Records and displays signals numerically or graphically.
-Signal/Sensor Simulator.
-On Road Testing.
-Built-in diagnostics and pinpoint testing.

Pros:	Ford Factory Scanner
Cons:	Little Complicated

Good scan tool. I haven't used it a whole lot, but when I have it has done a really good job. Has Ford and Mazda Factory programs available and is great to have. I reprogramed my ABS module for the bigger size tires and now my speedo is reading correctly. Great tool to have.
