1. INTRODUCTION

Detailed description, users manual and necessary program equipment are placed on the CD that makespart of the basic set.

Here you will find basic information about the Multi-Di@g diagnostic system you have to know whenunwrapping individual parts and the setting procedure basic parameters for the communication of Multi-Di@gwith the computer.

2. HOST COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS

Windows 2000/XP/Vista Processor: Intel Pentium 400 MHz compatible and fasterVGA 800x640/16bits RAM 32 MBCD ROM drive Free RS 232 or USB port

3. INSTALLATION CD DESCRIPTION AND ITS RUNNING
