EBOM
—An electronic bill of materials (eBOM) is a list of all the information needed to communicate with a module or system. A
specific eBOM is needed for each type of engine or system that the tool is capable of communicating with. If the interface cable
is connected and the ignition key is on, the system will automatically detect the most compatible eBOMs and put them at the
top of the list of available eBOMs. If an eBOM is not selected, the functionality of the tool is limited.
Configuration
—This part of the tool is used to set up new engines or systems. For example, the configuration screens are
used to configure the levers of an electronic remote control (ERC).
Diagnostics
—These special functions allow the user to command the module to perform certain operations, such as actuating
a fuel injector on the connected engine.
Reflash
—Reflash is the reprogramming of a module with a newer or improved calibration. Not all modules can be reflashed.
Print Screen
—This tool is used to print the data being displayed by the tool at any given time. The print function creates a pdf
file of the screen, not an actual piece of paper. The pdf file can be used to review and print a physical copy whenever desired.
The file location can be specified under the
Options
tab.
Priority Action Items
—Once G3 establishes communication with the engine controller and the program is started, the
Home
screen will appear and list any priority action items that need to be resolved before proceeding.
