SECTION VIIB TIS SOFTWARE
2005 Tech 2 User’s Guide VII - 16
The Tech 2 software is stored on a Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA) card.
All of the applications share a single database on the PCMCIA card. Refer to Figure III-8 (ejection of
PCMCIA card), Figure III-9 (PCMCIA card keying), and Figure III-10 (PCMCIA card insertion).
The card can store at least two snapshots and one Capture Info data file. This allows analysis of
intermittent conditions on a vehicle being serviced.
A write-protect slide mechanism is on the top edge of the card—usually under a white plastic CPA-type
device on new cards. If the write-protect slide mechanism is in the locked position, you will not be able to
store snapshots or captured information, and service programming will not work. The correct position is at
the middle of the card (unlocked).
Tech 2 PCMCIA Card
NOTICE
The PCMCIA card is sensitive to magnetism and static electricity. Use care when handling.
IMPORTANT
The PCMCIA card is accessed through a door on top of the Tech 2, and should only be removed if
instructed by the Techline Customer Support Center. The card is ejected by pushing the arrow button
pointing to card to be removed. Cards are notched to allow insertion only one way. When reinserting
the card make sure that it fully seats into the Tech 2. The PCMCIA card fits into Slot 1, which is closest
to the screen. The second slot is identified as Slot 2.
