Product Details

To view the product information, click on the Product Details button.

In the Product Details window you will find following information:

  • Company
  • Model
  • Chassis ID
  • Emission Level
  • Reg. No.
  • Electrical System
  • VIN
  • Engine label printed

Print

You can print the information from Product History. The print functionality is WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”). This means that in order to print all information, you must expand all tasks by clicking the plus icon in the top left in the table header.

To print, click the print icon in the menu, or choose Print in the Tech Tool menu. You can select whether you want to save as a file or to send the printout to your printer.

Import/Export

To export all session information, select Export. This will create a Zip file with the name [PH_chassis_id_date].zip. This Zip file contains all information done on the product and the client. Save it where you want to save the file.

You can import the zip file on any other Tech Tool client by clicking Import and then selecting the zip file. All the information will be displayed in the table just like any other work done on the client. Imported information will only be shown if you have selected the same product.

Access the CSV file

To access the CSV files of recorded sensor values for operations, perform the following steps.

Note: This function may not work as described below on VERSION2 products because some VERSION2 exports only contain two files.

  1. Export your data from the Product History.
    1. A Zip archive is created when exporting from Product History. Inside this archive you will find three files:
      • [chassis_id].psl
      • [chassis_id].repl (this is actually a Zip archive)
      • Manifest.xml
  2. Change the suffix of the file “[chassis_id].repl” to “[chassis_id].zip”.
  3. Unzip this file, i.e. the archive “[chassis_id].zip”.
  4. The CSV files can be found in the folder that will be created.

Product History Viewer

In Product History Viewer you can search and view all session logs for a selected product that have been uploaded to central systems.

A session is finished when you click Finish Work, disconnect the product from Tech Tool or exit the Tech Tool application.

All finished sessions will automatically be uploaded to central systems when you start working online again.
