Introduction
New Eagle’s Raptor-Service tool is primarily intended to be used in the field for flashing software updates or troubleshooting issues using custom displays and/or data logging. The tool’s features, functionality and workflow were designed by experienced application engineers hoping to improve upon the shortcomings of other service tools currently on the market. Raptor-Service is essentially the same software as Raptor-Cal, but without the calibration capabilities.
One of Raptor-Service’s most notable features is an integrated data acquisition feature that allows users to log signals within their control module at update rates as fast as 5ms. Raptor-Service users will also appreciate an integrated scan feature that eliminates the need to know the exact baud rate and/or city ID of the modules they are trying to connect to.
Raptor-Service can be used with any Raptor or MotoHawk module as well as any other modules that use the XCP calibration protocol.
New Eagle offers a calibration tool which Raptor-Service was developed from. See the comparison chart below to compare the tools:

Using Raptor-Service
Please read the Raptor-Service User Guide for detailed instructions on using Raptor-Service.
RP1210 Option
RP1210 is a standardized datalink access interface commonly used in the heavy-duty vehicle industry. Due to the variety of manufacturers represented on a typical heavy-duty vehicle, it could be very cumbersome if each manufacturer's control module required a separate vehicle datalink adapter in order to connect for diagnostics or reprogramming. As a result, the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) created a standard that allows PC tools to be created that work with any standard adapter. It is used to access the bus systems J1708/J1587, CAN, J1939 and J1850. For further information, see the RP1210 page.
Raptor-Service's RP1210 option means that your field service center may be able to use their existing cable and avoid purchasing and carrying extra cables.
Common RP1210 standard cables:
- NEXIQ USB-Link
- Noregon DLA
- Vansco DLA
- Dearborn Group DPA 4
Additional configuration and driver installation may be required in order to use your preferred datalink cable.

Purchase
License Options
Customers can choose to purchase either a node-locked or dongle-based version of the Raptor-Service software. A dongle is a small USB device the contains the software license. The advantage of a USB dongle is that the software license can easily be passed from one computer to another. A node-locked license, on the other hand, lives on the computer itself and eliminates the need for any external licensing hardware. Unlike USB license dongles, node-locked licenses cannot be lost. While node-locked licenses can be transferred from one computer to another, the process is not as simple and fast as for a USB dongle.
Software Updates
Customers have access to the latest software releases for a period of one year after their purchase. Each software release adds new features and addresses bug fixes. If customers wish to maintain access to new software releases after their first year of using the product, they can purchase a software maintenance license. Software maintenance licenses are valid for one year and can be renewed in perpetuity.
