Components
3.3 DAVIE XDc II Software
For optimal functioning of the DAVIE XDc II, three CD's must be installed. The
Runtime, Application and Parts Rapido Subset are needed to operate with the
DAVIE XDc II. These CD's are already installed at delivery.
Description of the CD's
3.4 Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI)
The DAVIE XDc II communicates with the ECU's installed in the truck via the
truckside "Diagnostic Connector" by using a special communication interface,
called the Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI).
The VCI switches the input channel automatically to the required data line (K-
line, L-line) or CAN-bus of the truckside "Diagnostic Connector".
The DAVIE XDc II provides two options for the communication between VCI
and DAVIE XDc II, wireless or via cable (USB). Normally, the VCI
communicates with the DAVIE XDc II by Wireless-LAN radio communication.
NOTE
Please take care. The use of wireless communication has to conform to the
local regulations of your country.
The VCI is equipped with a battery to prevent immediate shut down of the VCI
when the power supply is interrupted for a short time. (e.g. ignition off)
CD Content Update sequence
Runtime Diagnostic Operation system ~ once a year
