TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Problems

In the Device selection drop-down list I can’t see any Drew Technologies devices.
Ensure that you have completed the device installation process as outlined in the Mongoose-Plus, SuperGoose-Plus User Guide & Car DAQ Plus 3 User Guide provided with your device.
I have SSM4. Do I need to follow any of these steps?
No, SSM4 and SSM5 do not require a special device selection to operate.
I keep having to make the device selection every time I reboot my Windows device.
Ensure that you have sufficient privileges to save to the Windows Registry. Please contact your System Admin or login with an Admin privileges.
SSM3 takes a long time to scan the entire vehicle?
The SSM3 software is traditionally very slow to complete this process.
Later versions of the software (SSM4 and SSM5) significantly improved the speed of this request.
The DSTi VCI has no speed advantage over the Opus IVS device. This is a software related issue.
