4. Initial Setup
Use of the iDT requires the setup of the display language and communication port for communication
port. The setup procedure is as follows :

1) If a serial communication port is already installed on your PC, check to confirm the name of the serial
communication port. The procedure is as follows:
*Windows XP is used as an example for explaining this procedure. For details, see the Help
file of your version of Windows.

i) Right-click on [My Computer] either on the desktop or [Start] menu.

ii) Select [Properties] menu > [Hardware] tag > [Device Manager].
iii) Open the [Ports (COM & LPT)] tree. (Click on )
iv) Of [Communications Port (COM*)] displayed on tree, the ”COM*” portion is the name of the
serial communication port.

Fig. 4-1-1

Initial setup of the iDT’s communication port is ”COM1”. If your PC’s serial communication port
name is ”COM1”, skip step 4 and all steps thereafter.
Upon startup of Diagnostic Tool, this port is automatically connected to the ECU.

2) If your PC does not already have a serial communication port installed, a USB serial conversion
adapter is needed. For details, see Appendix 1 “USB Serial Conversion Adapter Setup Method".

Eng.- 8
i B ea t D ia g no st i c T oo l O pe rat i on M a nu a l

3) Start iDT. The screen below will appear. Click on the national flag representing the language
you wish to use. The display language will be established and saved to PC.
This setting can also be changed using the language setup command.
For details, see Section 10. 3) Language Setup Command.

Set only to languages that your PC’s OS supports.

Failure to follow this procedure can cause wrong display to the items of
window.

Click

Fig. 4-3-1

4) If the PC’s serial communication port name is

not ”COM1”, the message on the right will appear.

Fig. 4-4-1
5) Press the [OK] button of the message box and the display communication setup dialog box
will appear. Set the communication port name using on this dialog box.
For details of setting, see Section 10. 1) Communication Setup Command.

Be sure to correctly set the port name.

If the port name is not correctly set, a result of error diagnosis can not
receive because iDT can not communicate with the ECU.
