Update Application Tab

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Updates

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool updates are stored on Allison’s Service Tool Update Server.

NOTE: To receive updates over the Internet, your PC or laptop must be connected to a telephone line or to some other means of accessing the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is highly recommended.

The Update Application function allows you to:

•Determine if an update is available.

•Download the new version and update Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

•Download the new version to your hard drive and update Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool at a later time.

Checking For An Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Update

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool checks the Update Server for the latest version of the software. You must have an Internet connection to access the Update Server.

1.Click on the Options Menu.

2.Select the Application Configuration menu item.

3.Click on the Update Application tab—the Application Update window displays.

4.Click on CHECK FOR UPDATE—Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool accesses the Update Server by way of the Internet. If a newer version of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool than the one you are using is found on the update server, the newer version can be applied to your current Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool or downloaded to your hard drive. If a newer version is not found on the server, Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool checks your hard drive for a newer version.

26

If an update is available, either from the server or your hard drive, the CHECK FOR UPDATE button changes to APPLY UPDATE.

If your Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is up-to-date, a message displays indicating you do not need to update.

If the update server is not available and an update is not stored on your PC hard drive, a message displays providing the reason for an update not being available.

Applying An Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Update

Click the APPLY UPDATE button—the Update Processing window displays.

The latest version of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is loaded, either from the update server or from your PC hard drive.

NOTE: If the tool is unable to penetrate the user’s Internet firewall, click on the displayed URL and download the applicable update.

TAC Data Collection

This function shall only be used/enabled at the request of the Allison Transmission Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to collect WTEC II/III transmission data. The TAC Data Collection tab is only accessible after the TCM/ECU Reprogramming section is enabled. If the TAC Data tab is disabled (grayed-out), either the user hasn’t been authorized for the Reprogramming feature, or the TAC Data has already been enabled.

Enabling TAC Data Collection

1.Click the TAC Data tab—the TAC Data authorization dialog box displays with a key number.

2.After determining that you are required to use this feature in Allison DOC™, an Allison TAC representative will contact you to enable this section based upon the Authorization Key data.

3.Enter the password in the Password field.

27

4.Click the APPLY button—TAC Data collection may now be accessed from the Action Request menu.

NOTE: Unlike the Reprogramming section, the TAC Data Collection requires re-authorization once the technician uses the limited number of exercisable data collections. TAC determines the number of times the technician can use this feature when the authorization password is generated.

1000/2000 Setup and 3000/4000 Setup Tabs

The 1000/2000 and 3000/4000 (4th Gen) Data Setup tabs allow you to individually select the transmission data parameters to be requested from an Allison 4th Generation Controls system and, consequently, displayed on Allison DOC™. The selected data is assigned to Data Packet Identifiers (DPIDs), which are identified by an F (e.g. FE, F9, etc.). A configuration may be saved for future use. Limiting the amount of data to request from a TCM greatly increases the rate of data refresh. In other words, the fewer transmission data parameters you configure the tool to request, the faster the TCM will be able to send those parameters to the tool. This is particularly important when the user needs to closely monitor certain transmission parameters at higher rates.

On all 4th Generation screens and reports, data that is not being requested by DPID configuration is displayed as “Not Available.” In the graphics monitor, controls associated with unavailable data are disabled. In the selection dialogs for the custom data monitor, Excel export and strip chart parameters that are unavailable will not be displayed for selection.

Anatomy of a DPID

A DPID contains one or more Parameter Identifiers (PID). A PID identifies a specific transmission data parameter. The PID description is the designated name of the PID. The PID size indicates how many bytes the PID uses. A DPID can only hold up to seven bytes of data. A two-character ID, starting with an F, identifies a DPID. Fifteen DPIDs are available: FE, FD, FC, FB, FA, F9, F8, F7, F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0.

28

Required PID

Some PIDs are assigned by default to a DPID. The pre-assigned PIDs must always be selected in order for certain Allison DOC™ features to work correctly. The Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool allows the required PIDs to be reassigned from their default DPID, but does not allow them to be unassigned. A message displays if the required PIDs are not assigned to DPID. The following table lists the required transmission data parameters (with their PID and size).

PID	Description	Size in Bytes
19D4	Turbine Speed	2
1941	Input Speed	2
1942	Output Speed	2
190B	Transmission Input States #1	2
1909	Transmission Input States #2	2
190A	Transmission Input States #3	2
3037	GPO Wire On/Off State	1
