Sony KDE-P42MRX1D Service Manual page 141

A new TV Repair Assistance Tool that combines ease of use and powerful PC software tools to
allow you to save valuable time during many TV repairs.
The TRACE software that is supplied with the interface allows you to:
•
Read, restore and compare NVM contents via the I 2 C bus
•
Acknowledge check of all I 2 C devices in the TV set
•
Read Error Codes (emulation of the Error Reader tool)
With the optional IR Add-on kit, the following features can be added:
•
Remote Commander emulation
•
User programmable Functional Check through Infrared
•
Fast and documented Test Mode setting of all Sony TV chassis
Additional features such as Adjustments and Troubleshooting are
available in chassis-dependent software modules. Please contact your
local Sony Service organisation for the latest information.
Note: For workshops already using the existing I 2 C Link parallel port interface (9-948-320-30), this software can be used as well, replacing the
TV Data Handling software (9-948-340-50), but Error Reader and IR functions can only be accessed with the TRACE interface.
