Glossary
Amplitude
The maximum value that the deflection of an oscillation of an alternating current, e.g. an AC voltage, may have.
Adaptation
This service permits the interactive modification of parameters of the addressed control system. The modified values (e.g. correction values for noload speed) can also be saved permanently to the control units. The user is
given the option of changing the value and transferring it to the non-volatile
memory (RAM) for checking. The control unit creates the new values at its
outputs and the user is able to check the system's reaction. If the correct correction value is found, the tester arranges for the control unit to transfer the
value and the workshop code to the programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
As opposed to the default setting, the respective control circuit is in closed
state. The adaptation is used to determine system-specific parameters and save
them to the vehicle system.

Open Diagnostic Data Exchange
Mode
Each of the basic functions of the tester that can be accessed via the start
screen: "Flash", "Diagnosis", "Info" and "Admin". Each mode consists of a
number of individual functions.
Bluetooth
An industrial standard for radio transmission between devices over a short
distance.
Client
A program on the PC for connecting to a server. For example, a network client
is a program that connects to a server in the network so that the PC can be
operated as a workstation in the network.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic connection
Connector socket for the diagnostic cable on the tester or on the vehicle.
Diagnostic object
Collective term for diagnostic functions, assemblies or components modelled
in the diagnostic object tree. Not to be confused with diagnostic bus object
(def.: operating manual DES-VW A11.0). An object (function, component or
component group) to which the diagnostic function is applied.
Diagnostic objects should be named according to the master list. Even if currently not relevant, this needs to be done in the future for the circuit diagrams
on the tester to be requested according to the terminology from Elsa in the
master list.
Diagnostic protocol
The diagnostic protocol includes a list of control units with the corresponding
event memory entries, DISS codes and manually created text.
DIDB
Direct current measurement
(inline current measurement)
Current measurement during which the tester is integrated directly in the circuit like an ammeter. The opposite: inductive current measurement via clampon ammeter clamped on to the cable.
DISS
The DISS system (Direct Information System Service) is used to record vehicle complaints and to support the service core process.
