1. Introduction (10)

1.3 SDT-II FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS


1. PC-type high performance diagnostic tester
The display of PC can show more detailed information on the screen at once since it has a wider display than handheld-type
diagnostic testers.
It is possible to handle large volumes of data by using the high processing capability of a PC.

2. Automatic vehicle identification and automatic DTC reading from all systems
Automatic vehicle identification and automatic DTC reading at the beginning of a diagnostic session removes the possibility
of a technician forgetting to check DTCs.

3. Diagnostic Report
Presenting a diagnostic results report to the customer will help to increase CS and profitability.

4. Easy to manage diagnostic records


All diagnostic data (ie: DTC and data monitor) will be recorded with VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). It makes it
easy to manage diagnostic history data.

5. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)


Wireless communication between VCI and PC via an access point is supported.

2.3 WRITE SOFTWARE TO THE VCI (1)

☞ The VCI is shipped without software (firmware) programmed inside. Before the VCI can be used, the
first configuration step is writing software to the VCI via the PC. This section provides the procedure. It
should be noted that the software is for VCI setup (it is not diagnostic software).

 Notes for writing software to the VCI


 If you are using a notebook PC, connect the AC adapter to the PC so power does not to drop due to
low battery while programming.
 Before writing software to the VCI, exit all the applications on your PC.
 Before writing software to the VCI, remove USB devices other than the keyboard and mouse from the
PC.
 A warning will be shown to not disconnect the USB cable in the middle of a procedure. This
instruction must be followed. Disconnecting the USB cable or turning off the PC while programming
the VCI can damage the VCI.
 If writing software to the VCI fails, follow the instructions in "Chapter 2.4: “Recovery”.

B. Pre-trigger Recording
Time Description
1 Start Pre-trigger Data collected prior to trigger condition being met. Some samples may be lost due to collection duration..
2 Ready for Trigger Pre-trigger data fully collected and awaiting the trigger conditions to be met.
3 Trigger Point The time point when the trigger condition was met.

Item Description
A Recording Duration • The length of time to record snapshot data.
• It includes both of pre-trigger and post-trigger.
• The maximum duration is 900sec (15min)
• User can set any duration (in seconds).
B Pre-trigger • It represents ratio of pre-trigger duration and total duration as percentage.
Recording • In case of Pre-trigger Recording 30% and Recording duration 30sec, pre-trigger duration would be 9 sec
and post-trigger duration would be 21 sec.
