Silver Scan-Tool™ (SST) software provides test functionality for onboard diagnostics according to SAE J1979, SAE J1939 and ISO 27145.

Fields of deployment

Silver Scan-Tool™ has been developed for OBDII, EOBD, HD-OBD and WWH-OBD diagnostics and provides all the necessary functionality required for testing compliance with these standards. All emission relevant electronic control modules like engine, transmission, off-gas that support these standards can be selectively diagnosed. SST is fully compliant with the SAE J1979 and SAE J1939 (HD-OBD) standards.

Basic functions:

• OBDII/EOBD scan tool function according to ISO 9141-2/SAE J1979, ISO 14230, ISO 15765-4 (CAN), SAE J1850 PWM (Ford) and J1850 VPW (General Motors)
• Support for all 10 services (including Mode A) defined as well as all subfunctions (PID´s)
• Support of the extended PID´s in the service
• Automatic display of all controllers, responding to the request of the Scan tool
• Professional overview of the supported services and subfunctions
• HD-OBD scan-tool function following the SAE J1939 standard
• Clear representation of the necessary DIAGNOSTIC Messages (DM´s)
• NEW!!!: Newly devoloped functions to support the WWH-OBD (World-Wide Harmonized OBD) after ISO 27145
• Graphical view of measured values inclusive of bit values (e.g. Readiness in service )
• Recording and analyzing functions
• Export of the measured values into different formats such as CSV or MDF (DAT)
• Automatic test cycle assistant for self-defined and standard curves such as FTP75 or ECE
• Reference values can be freely selected out of the measurement values
• Output of measured values over the D/A transducer RAdio
• Windows interface for J1699-3 test sequenceand logfile formatter

USP

A remarkable aspect of this necessary hardware is the K-line diagnosis connection made by a simple level transducer at the serial interface of the PDA's or PC´s. It is possible to use any commercial level converter cables, from which we have models for the connection to the RS232 or the USB port of the computer and/or the direct connection to the PDA in the delivery program.

For the diagnosis on the CAN bus special CAN interfaces are needed. Some of these devices like the Basic+ XS and the LiteXS of I+ME Actia or the USB-to-CAN compact of IXXAT are likewise directly available from us. Additionally all PassThru interfaces that support the J2534 and all interfaces, which use the RP1210 API are supported.

J1699-3 test sequences

Based on an open source (GPL) DOS tool we offer a Windows interface for the test sequences of the SAE J1699-3 OBDII Compliance test Cases within the Silver Scan-Tool™, which makes it possible to accomplish SAE J1699-3 examinations.
The test run examines the emission-relevant on-board diagnostic functions and guarantees that a minimum of defined data set by these functions to arbitrary conformal diagnostic systems are supplied. The expiration is based particularly on 'Key-On Engine-Off' (KOEO) and 'Key-On Engine-Running' (KOER) sections and is divided into a static and a dynamic test. For the examination PassThru interfaces are used subsequent to SAE J2534.

The log file formatter provided can be used for the complex analysis of the log files and the processing in XML files. These can be prepared for a clear representation in the browser or as pdf file. The pdf files contained additionally to the prepared data original contents of the log file and links to the original contents. Our tool DiagRA® FX can also read the XML files in.

The open source tool is supported and is the only tool certified by the SAE. The SAE J1699-3 extension module is made available free of charge as an additional function in accordance with the regulations of use of open source software. Unfortunately we cannot ensure the permanent supply of this function due to this combination. We will maintain and will adapt however this module as long as economically feasible and technically meaningfully.

We point out that the Silver Scan-Tool™ is generally executable on Desktop PC´s and notebook with the diagnostic hardware supported by us
