Identifying your diagnostic device

The rating plate is located on the back of
MTS 6531. The MTS 6531 iden-
tification number has two parts: a manufactu-
ring code for traceability and a unique serial
number. The serial number is used to identify
MTS 6531 in the "VCI Manager" software.
You will need to refer to this serial number
when you are using VCI Manager to configure
MTS 6531 and perform software up-
dates.
