4 Use with IDC3 software on AXONE 3 Mobile No special software is required to use NAVIGATOR Wireless in combination with the Axone 3 Mobile displaying and processing unit: everything you need is preinstalled. You do however need to configure the communication mode between NAVIGATOR Wireless and AXONE 3 Mobile. Follow the instructions provided by the Texa tools configuration wizard which starts automatically when the IDC3 program is started for the first time.
6 Software setup on Pocket PC Insert the Secure Digital (see figure below) to use NAVIGATOR Wireless in combination with a Pocket PC. After inserting the SD containing the program in the available Pocket PC slot, set the program up using the PC software on the installation CD. The setup on the CD installs “TEXA Pocket PC Installer”, copies all the necessary data and installs ActiveSync if required (this program is indispensable to establish the PC-Pocket PC connection).
Select the installation folder. The components will then be installed. At the end of the installation a “Pocket PC Installer” link will be created on the Desktop: MT_NAVIGATOR Wireless_eng_00 Texa S.p.A.
6.2 Using “Pocket PC Installer” The second step consists in installing the software on the Pocket PC. Click on the link icon on the PC Desktop. The following window will appear: Click on OPEN to select a different data/version source to copy to the Pocket PC SD. MT_NAVIGATOR Wireless_eng_00 Texa S.p.A.
The selected folder path containing the data/version appears in the subtitle. The amount of data to be copied in MB appears in the “Space Required” area. During this stage, specify the NAVIGATOR Wireless interface and the working language. Click on CONNECT to establish the connection with the Pocket PC. For this operation, the Pocket PC must be connected via the USB wire to the PC. MT_NAVIGATOR Wireless_eng_00 Texa S.p.A.
The program shows information related to the connected device (processor type, operating system version, memory, etc.) and the available installation supports/directories. Select the Pocket PC directory where to copy the data. Typically, a Pocket PC contains two temp folders: one is the SD and the other is the ROM partition used as “disk”, also called “built-in memory”. The name of the SD may change from device to device.
Click on INSTALL to run the post-installation program on the Pocket PC. This program installs the TEXA programs (Menu, Auto-diagnosis, OBD Firmware Upgrade, Bluetooth Configuration), all the necessary supports (Database support, .NET support, etc.) and runs various operations according to the Bluetooth element installed in the Pocket PC (WidComm, Microsoft or Toshiba).
Click on DISCONNECT to shut down the connection with the Pocket PC. Click on CLOSE to end the program. A “TEXA” icon with connection to the installed program will appear when Pocket PC is booted up. To access the next Texa tools configuration procedure and select the Texa interface, select the Service menu and the respective Bluetooth Configuration program to identify the Texa tools.
