CDS G3 Overview
CDS G3 is a stand‑alone program that complements the original Mercury Computer Diagnostic System (CDS) by providing
diagnostic support for select engines and Mercury Joystick Piloting systems. Additionally, all configuration functions
necessary for preparing these systems for delivery are supported. CDS G3 allows for CAN‑based multiple‑processor
communication through a clean, easy‑to‑navigate interface.
