This article addresses the compatibility of Xentry Simulation software with the VXDIAG Benz C6 diagnostic tool, a common query among automotive technicians. We clarify whether you can utilize Xentry Simulation on a VXDIAG Benz C6 DoIP hard drive and provide essential guidance for its effective use.
Yes, Xentry Simulation is indeed compatible with VXDIAG Benz C6. To enable the simulation function, a specific step is required: temporarily uninstall the VXDIAG C6 driver within VX Manager. This adjustment allows the Xentry Simulation software to operate correctly. Remember, for standard Xentry diagnostics, reinstalling the C6 driver is necessary to restore normal diagnostic functionality.
To get started with Xentry Diagnostic Simulation, follow these steps:
- Initiate the process by opening ‘Xentry Diagnostics Simulation’ from your software suite.
- Proceed to open the ‘Xentry Simulation’ application.
- Select the specific vehicle model you intend to simulate for diagnostic procedures.
- As no physical vehicle is connected, you’ll need to manually specify the vehicle details for accurate simulation.
- Choose the precise model designation, for example, ‘E 500’, to match your simulation requirements.
- Load the vehicle data by clicking on the diagnosis button within the software interface.
- Manually activate the ignition within the simulation environment to mimic real-world diagnostic conditions.
- Click ‘Continue’ to proceed with the simulation setup.
- Configure the virtual vehicle and load the necessary simulation data for your chosen model.
- To simulate faults, navigate to the control unit window and set the desired fault conditions for diagnostic testing.
- The simulation allows for interaction with vehicle components, such as manipulating the stationary heater in the example shown.
- Keep the simulation window minimized during use; avoid closing it to maintain the simulation session.
- Perform a quick test within the simulation to observe the diagnostic outcomes.
- Faults, like the example with the stationary heater, will appear in the quick test results, mirroring real diagnostic scenarios.
- Xentry Simulation extends to modifying actual system values; the example demonstrates changing the operating rate of the stationary heater from ‘Full load’ to ‘Partial load’.
- Upon returning to the diagnosis interface, the altered actual value will be reflected, showcasing the software’s dynamic simulation capabilities.
Important: Ensure you separately close the simulation program when your diagnostic session is complete, as it remains open even after terminating the diagnosis within Xentry.
