DDComm
This version of DDEC Reports will detect the communication protocol required for the vehicle you
are connected to. The two protocols are J1708 used for EPA04 and EPA98 vehicles. CAN is used
for EPA06 and EPA10 vehicles.
In order for the tool to detect the appropriate protocol, DDComm needs to be configured. The
following steps will illustrate this procedure.
From the Extraction Log Viewer, select RP1210 Configuration from the Tools menu to display the
following dialog panel.

 Extraction Log
Viewer
The Extraction Log Viewer has been updated to include DDComm,
which displays the extraction status lights, extraction progress bar
and extraction settings. In addition, a new Extraction Results field has

extraction: Extract Pages, Reset Trip Data, Setup Vehicle, Reset Time.
A check box will be placed in each that applies.

 Interface
Configuration
DDEC Reports 7.0 has the capability of distinguishing between an EPA10 and Pre-EPA10 vehicle
based on the required communications protocol used to extract trip data:
EPA07 = J1708 ** EPA10 = UDS/CAN
These settings must be configured before you can communicate with any of your vehicles. To do this,
select RP1210 Communications from the Tools Menu within the Extraction Log Viewer panel. Each
protocol is identified with a tab and has three settings: Vendor, Protocol, Interface. Each of these
tabs is shown here. Click OK when finished.

The Vehicle Extraction Password allows you to password-protect your
vehicles so that trip data cannot be extracted or cleared by an
unauthorized service location. Once a password is setup via the
vehicle details, it is stored in the program’s registry and then written
to the CPC during the next extraction. A Password Set message will
be displayed confirming the change after the extraction completes.

When the individual password is has been stored in the
registry and the CPC, the next extraction using the same
computer will prompt the user for the password (Image #1).

If the incorrect password is provided three consecutive times,
