In this video we'll update Jaltest Soft multi-brand heavy vehicle diagnostics software.
Once the software is updated the firmware in the Jaltest Link will be updated to suit.
V13.2 software or previous announces an update...
...the same announcment in 13.3 or later software. We visit www.jaltest.com
Using the shortcut in in the main bar
The download we need is in the Clients area
Log in using the details provided when you purchased your Jaltest.
If you've misplaced your Jaltest login details get in touch with Eclipse: sales@eclipse-tech.co.uk
The file we need is in the Update Area
There are two files we could download - a full installer or an update pack.
If you are updating from a version older than stated here you need the full installer.
The full installer is about 3 times bigger than the updater - taking about 3 x longer to download.
Find the file you downloaded and right-click on it to get the menu shown.
The downloaded zip file contains the installer. We need to extract it - choose "Extract All..."
By default the file will extract into the same location as the downloaded zip file.
We've sped this section up - the actual time taken will depend on the performance of your PC
The installer is now ready to use. When launched you may be asked for confirmation.
This PC has Windows UAC disabled so no confirmation dialogue is shown.
The Jaltest software contains a wealth of information so installation won't be quick.
The installation can't proceed with any Jaltest software running - we're still running the main program...
So we close Jaltest Soft and run the installer again.
Ensure the Jaltest Link is connected to the PC with a USB cable - this is NOT optional!
English and Spanish languages are installed by default -you cannot deselect Spanish!
The license in the Jaltest Link is checked before installation proceeds.
Our license is fine :-)
No more hoops to jump through - the next click will install the Jaltest update.
This is a good point to wander off and grab a cup of tea - our install will take around 10 minutes.
Yours may take even longer. We'll skip forwards to the end of this process.
Nearly there now - just one more question.
The "Favourite brands" feature allows you to create shortcuts to your most used vehicles...
We're choosing to not run the wizard but any previous favourites are saved across updates
Our Jaltest software has been updated so now the firmware in our Jaltest Link needs updating.
It is crucial that power is not disrupted to the Jaltest Link throughout the process.
Expect this process to take at least 30 minutes. Ours took 35 minutes. Grab a bite to eat? ;-)
That's our Jaltest Soft software and Jaltest Link firmware successfully updated.
We'll start Jaltest Soft and check the communication with the Jaltest Link
This is usually not required following an update but would be in a fresh installation.
The firmware and software versions are equal. The MAC address is populated but we'll pretend otherwise.
In a fresh installation the MAC address would be blank and needs retrieving from the Jaltest Link
The MAC address is required for Bluetooth communication.
Now the software knows the address of the Jaltest Link we'll test Bluetooth communication
The test failed! We turned off radio communications on the laptop earlier.
Bluetooth is now enabled on the laptop and the test re-run.
A successful test is indicated when the Serial number and firmware level populate the box
We can now enjoy the increased coverage from our updated Jaltest vehicle diagnostic software!
