NYTEST SOFTWARE VERSION

NYVIP Message No. 24

DATE: 03/18/2008

TO: NYTEST STATIONS USING SNAP-ON/SUN OR JOHN BEAN EQUIPMENT

FROM: NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES

SUBJECT: SOFTWARE UPDATE

This message applies to all inspection stations that currently have Snap-on/SUN or John Bean NYTEST inspection equipment. A new software version has been approved for download to these inspection machines. This software can be downloaded directly from Snap-on/SUN on your NYTEST analyzer by following the instructions below.

In order to insure uniformity of software versions, this update must be installed by 04/03/2008. You must install this version of the update in order to continue to perform both NYTEST and NYVIP inspections at your facility.

Once the new software update has been activated a full calibration process will be required before any inspections can be performed.

The inspection machines automatically check for updates on a regular basis during the start-up process. The next time that the inspection machine checks for an update, you should allow it to complete. If an update is available, please proceed to step 5 below.

You can ALSO manually request an update by using the following procedure:

  1. Shut down the analyzer.

  1. Start the analyzer and when the start up box opens, select the option for âRemote software updateâ

  1. The Snap-on remote software update box will appear with directions âpress enter to continue:, or it will continue automatically.

  1. The software will dial to the Snap-on server, then you will get a message update version 7.00 is available.

  1. After the download is complete, the software will install and restart the analyzer automatically.

  1. After the startup box appears, use the TAB and Arrow and Enter keys to select Start Emission Analyzer.

  1. After the software opens on the Main Menu check the bottom of the screen to verify that your software version is now 7.00.

If you have any problems loading the software or operating your equipment please call Snap-on Equipment Service at 1-800-225-5786. Please contact the Clean Air Office for all other questions at (518) 473-0597.
