4.1 Overview
The CDR 900 is used by professionals who inspect vehi-
cles involved in accidents, investigate vehicle accidents
or perform vehicle accident reconstructions. It is used
as an aid in accident investigations and vehicle inspec-
tions by retrieving stored data from vehicle electronic
systems. The CDR 900 is designed to connect the ve-
hicle to a host PC computer CDR Software application
which then functions though the CDR 900 for retrieval
of certain data such as Event Data Recorder (EDR) data
stored in Electronic Control Units (ECU).
Using the CDR 900 VCI Manager PC application which
is included with CDR Software version 17.8 and later,
you configure the CDR 900 to communicate with a host
computer. The CDR 900 is capable of communicating
over a USB cable or wireless (WLAN).
4.2 User group
The product should be used by skilled and instructed
users only. It is recommended that users be trained, fa-
miliarized, instructed or to take part in a general train-
ing course before using the CDR 900 to download EDR
data from vehicles or directly from a vehicle's ECU.
