Section 16 ShopStream Update Tool (SST)
Introduction
This section describes the ShopStream Update Tool (SST), a maintenance
program that automatically keeps your diagnostic software up-to-date.
SST downloads and installs:
• Diagnostic software upgrades
• Diagnostic software updates
• SST program updates
Whenever the diagnostic tool is connected to the Internet, the SST automatically
checks for new software updates. This automatic check also occurs every time the
diagnostic tool is turned on. If a software update is available, the SST will download
it.
The SST is a low priority program that only downloads software updates when
unused bandwidth is available. If other programs are running that communicate
over the Wi-Fi network, such as a browser or instant messaging, the download may
be temporarily suspended. This allows you to continue normal diagnostic tool
operation, without interruptions or loss of performance.
As an alternative to downloading software in the background, you can select
the Fast Download from the update status window, see Step 3 in Manual
Software Download for details.
16.1 Terminology
The following terms are used in this section and throughout this manual as
described below:
• Software Upgrade - a new diagnostic software version. Software upgrades
include new and enhanced coverage and features.
• Software Update - a service release “update” for a existing diagnostic software
version.
For clarity, throughout this document the term “software update(s)” will be used to
collectively describe “software updates, upgrades and SST program updates”
using the SST, except where noted.
