This block at the bottom of the software displays all kinds of status, information and fault codes. Below is a description on types of messages.

When no device is connected, the connection button may be open and an indication that no device is recognized. If you use a different USB cable, you may need to click on the connect button to tell the software to search other Comms ports as well. Once a port is found with a recognized device the software will lock onto that port to minimise start up times. It will then display the device type and COM port as below.


On the right bottom corner the software will indicate which ports it is scanning to search for a device. If you use a different USB cable, you may need to click on the connect button to search other ports as well.

Some devices may have a BootLoader to load firmware and some are programmed with the USB Debug Adapter. This indication will show if it is installed on that device.

Flash ID or Device ID is an indication of which allocation are installed. Old programs were Flash ID and the newer ones will be changed to Device ID. It is more stable and cannot be spiked easily. The firmware must be written for the type of ID that the device is set up to. If they don’t match, then allocation details will not show and won’t allow the firmware to run.

This message indicates if the unit is mobile software capable or not. Some mobile applications will run only if this is set. Contact your supplier for activation.

The software will also give occasional indications on tasks like if the map was saved successful or not.

This message will indicate Errors, Warnings and Information. This is helpful to the user to find errors in the setting up of the device. If you click on the button left of the error, a list of the errors will appear with the last one on top. If you go out of the error list it will be cleared. See the list of errors in the sub folders.
