On the main screen of the “ABRITES Diagnostics for Porsche” the user is able to select a certain vehicle model configuration from the “Vehicle selection:” combo-box. A list of the devices which can be installed into this car type is displayed below.
For to connect to a certain device the user have to double-click on it or to select it and press “Open”. Pressing the “Scan all” button from the “Broadcast” panel will attempt to connect to each device currently displayed in the list. Depending on the configuration options only the selected protocols will be used when scanning for the devices.
For all devices, which the “ABRITES Diagnostics for Porsche” finds, a detailed information is displayed in the main screen. For each device the following information is shown:
-
Unit name
-
Protocol – using which protocol (CAN ISO TP, CAN TP2.0 , etc) the diagnostic connection is established
-
DTC – number of DTCs stored in the unit
Since clearing of the DTCs for all existing devices is one of the main diagnostic operations, and broadcast requests for clearing DTCs are not accepted from all units, there is a possibility to scan all devices and if connection to the device is possible, then its DTCs are cleared. This is made by pressing the “Clear all DTCs” button from the “Broadcast” panel. Once again, the protocols used to connect to the devices are specified in the configuration options.
