II Introduction
The Wireless Diagnostic Interface is a multi-brand device which comes with
the CANDO tool kit. It is designed to connect wirelessly with the CANDO
Display Tablet, as a vehicle communication interface (VCI) for vehicle data
transmission. Thanks to the wireless BT technology, with which you are
allowed to work freely around the vehicle.
This interface device can communicate with vehicles’ electronic control
units (ECUs), guaranteeing performance and speed that redefine multibrand diagnostics. The development of this interface has been focused on
reducing the communication time, and ensuring the tool is practical to use.
The CANDO diagnostic platform combines the VCI device and the display
tablet with technical information into ensuring quick and simple access to
the vehicle to perform comprehensive diagnostics applications.
2.1 Wireless Communication
The Wireless Diagnostic Interface supports BT communication. It can transmit
vehicle data to the CANDO Display Tablet without a physical connection. The
working range of the transmitter through BT communication is about 300
feet (about 100 m). A signal lost due to moving out of range automatically
restores itself when the display unit is brought closer to the VCI unit.
For detailed information about VCI connection with the CANDO display tablet,
please refer to the CANDO User Manual.
2.2 USB Connectivity
The VCI device also provides a direct connection to the CANDO display tablet
or a PC via a USB 2.0 full-speed connection. All of the electronics are
contained in the device shell, making it a compact and rugged vehicle
communication tool.
2.3 Power Source
The Wireless Diagnostic Interface operates on 12-volt vehicle power, which it
receives through the vehicle data connection port. The unit powers on
whenever it is connected to an OBD II/EOBD compliant data link connector
(DLC).
