(Program/encode the VDP control unit)
Precondition
The control unit was replaced./Programming based on instructions from ISTA diagnosis./
Programming due to Technical Campaign.
NOTE:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
With the introduction of ISTA 4, the programming functionality was integrated into ISTA.
To avoid errors during programming/coding, the current ISTA/P or ISTA 4 version must be used.
For programming, the programming data must also be installed for ISTA 4.
With the introduction of ISTA 4, the programming functionality was integrated into ISTA.
- The following series can be treated with ISTA/P: Exx series and RR1, RR2, RR3
- The following series can be treated with ISTA 4: Fxx, Gxx, Ixx series and following
