If USB connection is not possible, the diagnostic tool micro SD card can be used to access files.
| 1. | With the diagnostic tool turned off, remove the micro SD card. |
| 2. | Use a micro SD card reader connected to your PC to access the files, using the SSC software. |
Starting SSC / Basic Navigation
Connect the diagnostic tool to your PC using a USB cable, or using an alternate method. See section PC to Tool USB Connection, and the applicable diagnostic tool instructions within that section.
In most instances, ShopStream Connect will automatically open on the PC when the tool establishes communication with the PC. See Tools Menu (Options) for information on using the Autostart function.
If needed, SSC can be started manually. Startup can vary depending on the Windows operating system. Typically SSC can be started from:
| ● | The ShopStream Connect icon |
| – | Double-click ShopStream Connect icon. |
| ● | The Windows Start menu |
| – | Select ShopStream Connect directly from the Start Menu (Left Figure) programs if available, or |
| – | Select Start > All Programs > ShopStream Connect > ShopStream Connect (Right Figure) |
Basic Navigation / Menus
When the application opens, it should display the data stored on your diagnostic tool (if your tool is connected with the PC via USB).
If it does not open to display your data in the directory, select your applicable diagnostic tool from the file directory list.
ShopStream Connect uses the basic Windows interface to allow you to transfer files bi-directionally between your diagnostic tool and your PC.
When a diagnostic tool is connected to your PC using ShopStream Connect, a diagnostic tool folder is created on your PC named after the tool. This folder allows you to store and transfer files.
The location of the diagnostic tool “target destination” folders on your PC is defined during the installation of ShopStream Connect. The “target destination” folder names and location can be changed at anytime by choosing (from main menu) Tools > Options > Change ShopStream Data Path. Follow the onscreen instructions to create or rename your new “target destination” folder and/or location.
| 1. | Notes Window—allows you add notes to select data files. Select Save from the menu bar to save your notes. NOTE: Not all file types allow notes, the Notes window will be grayed out when a file type that does not support notes is highlighted. Some image files may display notes for reference purposes (the notes are grayed out and not editable). |
| 2. | File directory structure—displays the file directory structure of your PC in standard Windows format, and shows any connected diagnostic tools at the bottom of the data list. |
| 3. | Data Manager Toolbar—provides control icons that perform a variety of operations on data files. |
| 4. | File Path—displays the Windows file path. |
| 5. | Main Menu bar—contains File, Edit, Tools, and Help menus. |
| 6. | Tabs—provides access to data files and presets stored on the diagnostic tool or on the PC, and also allows viewing of software revision details of the diagnostic tool. |
| 7. | Main display —shows stored data files details. NOTE: The files listed are sortable (ascending/descending) by clicking on the column tab at the top (e.g. File Name, Type, etc.) Sort preferences are saved when the ShopStream Connect program is closed . |
| 8. | Preview—displays a sample of the file if the selected file is a image file. |
Main Menu Bar
File and Edit menus include standard Windows control options.
