Diagnostics Software for Microsoft Windows

Westerbeke multiport EFI generators are designed to help technicians monitor engine operation and ECU
functions using Diagnostic Software. The software provides IDLE mode diagnostics, FAILURE recording and
Runtime Data Logging to Microsoft Excel.
Diagnostic Software is available as part of a kit that contains a programmed USB interconnect cable to connect
your laptop to the electronic control unit (ECU). You can purchase the Diagnostic Software Kit through your
Westerbeke dealer or distributor.
TIP: Your local or regional distributor can be found online at www.westerbeke.com.

The diagnostic software runs on most Microsoft Operating Systems. It requires a minimum of 128 MB of RAM.
The communications cable plugs into a USB port.
NOTE: The Westerbeke communications cable is unique to this diagnostic software and must be used. An incompatible
cable may damage the ECU.
The menu-driven software features easy-to-use tabbed pages to guide the user through the diagnostic
process. In addition to monitoring the operation of the engine, you can also use the software to change the
ECU target frequency between 50 and 60 Hz.
