V-MAC III SERVICE SOFTWARE V.2.6.12

The V-MAC III Service Software v.2.6.12 effectivity date is 11/15/02. The software
is a fully 32-bit RP1210A-compliant application and will work with MS Windows
95/98/ME, MS Windows NT/2000 & XP (when using an RP1210A-compliant data link
adapter) and both the Kent-Moore J-38351-D and J-45537-PLC serial data link
adapters. NOTE: J-38351-D support under Win NT/2000 & XP uses the adapter in
RP1210A mode (only) and requires the installation of the updated Noregon Standalone
API v.2.5 device drivers. This release of diagnostic software includes support for
all V-MAC III module combinations including E-Tech, CCRS, ASET IEGR, and ASET CEGR
through 1MS364, or V-MAC III Step 9B.

Also included on this CD-ROM are the device drivers necessary to use the Kent-Moore
J-45537-PLC data link adapter with V-MAC III Service Software. They are located in
the ...\J-45537-PLC Drivers v.2.5 directory and supercede the drivers distributed
with the J-45537-MACK essential service tool kit. Note that this version of the
data link adapter drivers will also support the Kent-Moore J-38351-D in RP1210A
mode, and will greatly assist with all reprogramming diagnostics.

codes on non-CCRS engines.
3. Eliminated the J1587 fault that was occasionally generated when resetting the
ECUs.
4. Corrected a problem programming the engine brake parameter in the EECU
(previously, it was not possible to turn the brake off in all cases).

SD
----------

1. Changed communication to address slow performance and read errors for

a. Vehicle Information
b. Programming History
c. Vehicle Data Log
d. Maintenance Data Log
e. Fault table
f. Fault Reporter
2. Removed the unwanted confirmation message from the Snapshot function of Monitor
Parameters.
3. Corrected errors reading the fault tables when returning to the main menu from
