Nowadays, Type-C interface is wildly used for its superior performance; It’s much better than others in terms of interface volume, charging power, transmission speed and ease of use.
Recently I got a new Type-C USB tester (TC66C) from RD technology, they produce many kind of USB testers like UM24/Um25/UM34/TC64, they perform well but can be better. So, today I want to introduce it to you because I think it will be a useful tool for many enthusiasts and laboratory workers.
OK let’s have look at TC66C, it is compact designed and easy to carry. We can test our device anywhere because it doesn’t take too much space.
There are two versions: TC66 and TC66C, the only difference between them is that TC66C can communicate with mobile phone by Bluetooth connection while TC66 cannot.
Then we can see details of TC66C, just as shown below, TC66C has 8 interfaces and each interface has its function. Compared with other USB testers, it is more powerful. I will introduce some useful functions and you can know more about TC66C.
I list these functions and I will introduce them in detail.
-6digit voltage and current, resolution is 0.0001V(0.1mV)/ 0.00001A(0.01mA)
-Quick charge protocol detection,
-PD and other trigger operation,
-USB communication for PC software,
-Bluetooth communication for IOS app and android APP,
-Firmware upgrade,
-Two-way measurement,
-Independently power supply
-Offline storage
- Voltage/Currentaccuracy comparison
we can see that Voltage and Current are displayed in six digits, which means the Voltage measurement resolution is improved to 0.0001V (0.1mV), and Current measurement resolution is improved to 0.00001A (0.01mA). I think it will be suitable for enthusiasts or mad scientists :D.
2.quick charge protocol detection
We know that many electronic products has quick charge mode: Samsung AFC quick charge, Huawei FCP/SCP quick charge, PD quick charge etc. These quick charge modes can be detected by TC66C; Several different chargers are tested as shown below. We can see two colors on the screen, green options indicate supported protocols, red options indicate unsupported protocols.
3.PD Trigger
TC66C can test the maximum power of PD charger, so that we can know the quality of our charger.
4.Two-way measurement
TC66C allows current flow passing in two directions so we won’t be afraid that the tester might be burned if we insert the wrong interface.
5.USB communicationfor PC software
C66C supports PC software communication, after being connected to PC by Micro-USB cable, we can view data on PC software, it can record curve when mobile phone is charging. (PC system must be Win7 or above, TC66 and TC66C can use the micro USB to connect computer)
6.Bluetooth communication for mobile phone
We can also use mobile phone to view data or operate. TC66C can be connected to APP by Bluetooth. That is so convenient for me. (Android system must be Android 5.0 or above, iPhone must be IOS 8.0 or above)
7.Offline storage
Sometimes we will be busy and we do not have time to record data, we can use offline storage function; data information will be recorded on TC66C and be exported to PC software when connected to PC.
- Firmware upgrade
When there is a new firmware, the tester will remind you to upgrade the firmware. So we can use new functions.
9.Independently power supply
TC66C can be Independently charged so that it won’t consume the voltage and current of the device under test.
In short, I am satisfied with TC66C, thanks for reading.
