Looking through the install video for Diagbox, what's this?

It's a facility that was available from Lexia and PP2000 and compatible with Diagbox that allowed various other equipment to be used to take measurements with the diagnostic tool. They are interfaces that emulate a digital scope or multimeter and supplies the readings to the measurements part of Diagbox as far as I can make out, but whether they are available and whether they are functional with a clone interface is another matter I think Gibbo.

Thanks Marc, it popped up a couple of times in the video (easyd's)

Having got the Toughbook back on XP I'm going to try, yet again, to get this working. :evil:

I question why it would be in the installation video in the first place?
Maybe try a different tutorial if it's leading you to fail so often?
I'd recommend scarymistake's tutorial but can't seem to find it right now.

I think it's the same as scary's video Mike, they all seem to be copies pinched/ cloned from the original works stuff.

You could be right, my memory fails me too often but I only recall seeing the measurement card popup AFTER installation and during my familiarisation when I clicked SCAN TOOL. Never during installation, hence my wonder if the video is leading you astray.

What I do know is that scary often releases updated instructions and upgrades that warn to ignore previous instructions.
