8 Working with the DSS on the PC
In principle, all functions in oDSS can be used and configured. However, if you want to create or
modify your own TRI , the DSS must be used.
You can download the DSS free of charge from our website at www.canchecked.de/dss/ . This is
available for both PC and Mac. On our website you will find a quick guide to download and install.
Furthermore, you can find the
driver required for Windows 7 here. As soon as you have installed the
DSS , you can execute it, should be able to see the following start screen and click on the CANchecked
logo to get to the selection field of the device to be connected.

The MFD15 Gen2 cannot be connected to the DSS via USB. The DSS can only be used to edit TRI files
offline.
8.1 The TRI file
The TRI file is the heart of your data display. All sensors and the associated information are stored in
the TRI file .
In the following, the structure of a TRI file is explained. If you open the file with a text editor, you will
find the following structure:
Each row represents a sensor and all metadata associated with the sensor. These 26 metadata are in
columns; separated by semicolons. The decimal separator is a period, not a comma. The figure below
shows a
TRI file with two sensors (RPM and CLT) and the metadata associated with the sensors .
