The steps of using MB Star C3 Multiplexer to program ECU

To make MB Star C3 Multiplexer with DAS/Xentry software become powerful Benz diagnostic and coding tool, you can buy an additional Vediamo 4.2 plus PIC12F509. The Vediamo 4.2 is only about $350USD (EUR252) on Mb Star C3 Next step is to install the chip and software, just follow the five steps:

1). Repalce the PIC12F509 in the Multiplexer (it is not exactly as same as the one in C3 multiplexer, but fit perfectly)

2). Extract and install Setup_040202.exe

3). Copy “Vediamo” from installed folder to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

4). Extract DATA archyve and Copy “VediamoData” and “VediamoShortTestData” to C:\

5). IF HAVE ANY PROBLEMS: Copy “Vediamo (Program files)” to C:\Program files\ and rename to Vediamo

Thirdly, Let us have a look at the software display, and from the picture, Mb Star C3 . we can know Vediamo 4.2  features and functions.

1) The following picture shows:

a.Vediamo has two user groups: Development – Ecoute and Production – Flash-Station.

b.Vediamo contains 4 clients: Engine Test Stand – PSR Client, Control PC-worker Client , connection to Flashware Cash-UVI and Automatic Sequences-Jave Client.

2) The second picture shows:

a.Vediamo is based on the Mercedes Benz DCDI standard communication platform CAESAR, which means it supports all communication hardware such as, e.g., Part C, Part A, Part Y, etc. DIOGENES data used by all diagnostics applications in the company and which can be drawn from the central TAMINO data base. It can be used as diagnostic data.

b.There is a System configuration, the system configuration is used to adapt the available ECUs to the user’s specific requirements, e.g.

3) The third picture shows:

the user can easily expand the architecture of the system by additional functionalities and even complete applications, and the Java programs can help do it primarily, Vediamo owns a simple yet Mb Star C3 comprehensive connection, including all ECU functions, it is easy to do, if you think you have limited programming skills in the standard language Java, you can also develop your own applications. the Vediamo developers can subsequently integrate applicable functions in the clients (graphic measurement display or the quick test) or develope as new DCOM clients.
