J2534 Configuration

The MTS 6513 VCI is a J2534 device that connects bet-
ween your computer and the vehicle's J1962 DLC con-
nector for pass-thru programming of the vehicle's ECUs.
The J2534 Configuration Application is installed on
your PC at the same time as the VCI Manager software,
allowing you to keep your OEM PC application connec-
ted to a VCI. In addition, this application provides API
Monitoring controls to aid in investigating problems
encountered while using any J2534 or PDU VCI devices
or PC applications devices.
J2534 Device Configuration
The Device Configuration controls in the J2534 Confi-
guration Application allow you to define a default VCI
and a connection sequence that your OEM PC applica-
tion will follow to connect to your VCIs. There are two
controls in this area: the Default Device control and the
Auto-Connection Order control.
The Default Device text box allows you to type the
serial number of the VCI that you want to define as your
default device.
The Auto-Connection Order control allows you to select
multiple connection methods.
