Note: To take full advantage of the tool, you should be knowledgeable and well trained in the OEM system described in this manual. This manual contains information that will allow you to use the tool to perform diagnostic tests and find possible locations of en- gine problems.
Preface SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust. Engines produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas which is odorless, causes slower reaction time, and can lead to serious injury or death. Fuel under pressure may escape and create a dangerous condition if you are working with fuel lines.

Connect power to the printer by using one of the following methods: a.
1.0 Introduction USING OTHER SERIAL PRINTERS Requirements for other printers The printer must have a serial data protocol with x–on/x–off handshaking. There is a tool–to–printer cable available. The cable must be configured as shown: DB–25 2–TXD (Host out) 3–RCV (Host in) 7–Ground The printer can have a baud rate of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.
1.0 Introduction TOOL SETUP Overview Use this function to select the DDT baud rate and the number of stop bits. You can also save the Tool Setup or restore the previously saved setup. Make sure the SELECT FUNCTION Menu screen is displayed on the DDT.
1.0 Introduction LINE LOCK If you want a line of data to stay in place, press key 1, 2, 3 or 4 to hold data line 1, 2, 3, or 4 in place. Pressing the number again will unlock that line. As you scroll, the lines locked will stay in place and the next data items will appear in the unlocked lines.
1.0 Introduction RECORD/PLAYBACK The Diagnostic Cartridge contains a Recording feature that allows you to capture information at certain times when data is displayed on the screen. Once data has been captured, you can play it back immediately or save it in a file for playback and printing. The data will be captured in “frames.”...

1.0 Introduction TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PC It should be noted that the PRINT function can be used to transfer the formatted print data to a PC. The following example uses Windows 3 , but any DEC VT–100 terminal emulation program can be used. NOTE: You can use the existing serial printer cable, however, you may need to use a DB25 Null Modem adaptor plug and/or a DB25 to DB9 adaptor plug if required by your PC.
