How to install/update Vident iLink450?

1). Install PC-based application 

Usually Vident iLink450 can work alone without installation. I installed it because it is capable of recording live data, which can be played back on a PC. There is a mini-CD contains the Setup program for the PC-based application.

Setup the application on my computer was very easy. I inserted the disc, chose my language, and clicked on Install.

2). Register a free user account & Update to the newest

A desktop icon titled iScanzilla was automatically created as part of the software installation. Upon initial startup of the application, I was instructed to create a free user account, which also doubled to register the warranty for my unit. After that, I could update both the scan tool and the PC software (my i450 shipped with Ver. 1.00 PC application, so I updated it immediately to Ver. 2.00).

Vident ilink450 function menu, navigation etc.

the interfaces of both the PC application and the scan tool itself are very intuitive. It’s a pic of the main screen. The three function buttons (F1 … F3) below the screen are programmable, and I have already programmed them for my three favorites in this shot.

The screen is bright enough in the dark working environment,  and the text is reasonably crisp.

Chose “ ABS&SRS” and I was taken to the next option screen on which I chose Electronic Brake Control. Then I was taken to the next screen on which I chose Special Functions.

Then I saw Automated Bleed option that I was interested in.

Chose Automated Bleed option and I was taken to the next screen on which it lists what I should to do next, just follow it to do.

Back to ABS Motor option

Enter and I saw all sorts of data regarding the ABS.
