Sneak peek: EP-800
Later this year, Aptiv will launch our newest vehicle data recorder, the EP-800. It's small, ruggedized, and doesn't require external antennas, making it ideal for validating two-wheelers and UTVs. It can collect data from up to 4 CAN channels, and it has an IP65 rating. To see a photo and all the specs, check out the data sheet.
Is it spring yet?
It's been an unusual winter here in the Detroit area. We'll get a day or two of really warm weather that makes us think spring has arrived. And then the next day, it snows again. Unpredictable weather like this can make it difficult to know if you're meeting your test coverage targets or if the issue you are troubleshooting is related to weather. Environmental Insights can help by pulling road and weather data into Qualifier. If you aren't currently subscribed to Environmental Insights, talk to your Aptiv representative about setting up a demo or email sales@aptivcs.com.
Download improvements
We recently noticed that some data-heavy DTC or snapshot downloads were taking so long that they were timing out. To fix the problem, Qualifier can now process download requests for some types of files in the background while you continue your other work. When the file is ready, you'll see an alert like the one on the right.
Pro tip: Use the fault finder
If you click the Fault finder link on the Next-Gen Qualifier Home page, you can look up diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their descriptions. The omnisearch bar lets you search for the code or any words in the description. Try it out the next time you need to remember what a DTC means.
