131-5050 DataView Group (PC not included)

Caterpillar DataView is a portable diagnostic tool that allows data, measured by sensors temporarily installed on Caterpillar products to be viewed on a Personal Computer. It allows many of the individual hand-held diagnostic tools currently in use by technicians to be replaced with a single unit. DataView also allows diagnostic data to be shared with other PC programs, such as the Caterpillar Service Information System (SIS) and the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). DataView can be used with all Caterpillar products. DataView consists of a portable hardware instrument (DataView hardware) which connects to a standard PC via the parallel printer port and a Windows based software program (DataView software) that runs on the PC. The DataView software program provides setup, digital displays, graphs, and data logging of the measurements being taken. The hardware will accept up to nine standard Caterpillar sensors. A parallel port on DataView is provided for operating a printer when DataView is attached to the PC. DataView operates from an internal battery pack, but can also be powered from an external power source (110 to 220 Volts AC). Power can also be taken directly from a machine battery of 11 to 40 Volts DC or by using a vehicle 12 Volt or 24 Volt cigarette lighter.

Caterpillar PC-Based Diagnostic Tools. - A future version of DataView software will provide startup of DataView from the Tool Box Manager.
