1. Vehicle Communication Serial Interface VCSI The vehicle communication serial interface VCSI allows TestBook to communicate with specified electronic control units ECUs and other devices that follow the 1S09141 standard This international standard specifies the requirements for setting up the interchange of digital information between on board ECUs of road vehicles and diagnostic testers The ISO 9141 support consists of three main functional blocks the asynchronous serial receiver transmitter counter timers and the ISO 9141 physical interface The asynchronous serial receiver transmitter and counter timer logic are implemented using a field programmable gate array FPGA The physical interface is electrically isolated from TestBook TestBook VCSI can achieve a baud rate synchronization from 10 to 10K baud Power Sources TestBook can be connected directly across the vehicle battery terminals In this mode of operation the VCSI and VOM isolations will keep the vehicle battery ground isolated from the signal ground The isolated DC to DC converter will provide the ground isolation for the peripheral connectors such as the parallel and serial ports The peripheral signals are not isolated TestBook can also be powered from an external AC to DC power supply This mode is especially useful to recharge TestBook internal battery while not in use When connected to the vehicle TestBook uses DC power from the vehicle with a voltage ra2. he base unit to allow the user to interface with the tester without hand holding the display Cables and Adapters The TestBook package contains the road test power supply This cable has been designed to operate in the harsh automotive garage environment The road test power supply connects TestBook to the vehicle battery This cable is 4 2 metres long It has red and black battery clamps at one end and a sub miniature D power connector at the other A black PVC molded fuse box is located near the clamp end
