“With the ongoing updates of the AVL DiTEST XDS 1000, we are expanding the scope of functions and the range of models, and making users’ everyday working lives easier in the process. It is particularly important to us to provide this support in this challenging year,” says Andreas Wittig, Product Manager at AVL DiTEST. “Support will also be provided by the reading of error environment data from the control units in order to quickly and efficiently pinpoint and remedy sporadic faults, which often cost a lot of time. This data also forms part of the scope of our XDS 1000 and is an integral part of the diagnostics software,” adds Martin Hofmann, Development Engineer at AVL DiTEST.
