MotoService is used to distribute the following apps to vendors in one installation file:


*MotoUpdate
=Introduction=
*MotoViewer
*MotoServer Runtime
*KVASER driver installation


The install may be customized by placing an ECUFiles folder in the same directory as the Setup.exe. The ECUFiles folder will copy the contents of the folders (displays (.dis), TDBDLL (.dll), and Updates(.mfu)) into the target installations disks' ECUFiles folder. It should be noted that it will copy to the local disk only when distributed via a removable drive or zip archive.  
MotoService consists of two powerful applications in one package. MotoService combines MotoViewer which is an economical display and diagnostic tool and MotoUpdate for field flashing of electronic control units. MotoService is used to distribute the following two apps to vendors in one installation file.


The PortInfo.cfg file can be customized to add specific ports to the installation. The PortInfo.cfg file should be placed in the ECUFiles folder in the installation directory. This enables the distributors of MotoService to package their own CD or zip archive for distribution to vendors.

= Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) =


Click Next to begin upgrading the module. This is a very crucial step in the upgrading process and a pop-up warning window (Fig.3) will appear.
==Can MotoService be installed on a computer with MotoTune?==
No, MotoTools does not support multiple versions installed simultaneously. For all MotoTools (MotoUpdate, MotoViewer, MotoTune and MotoServerRuntime) the user should have only one version installed. It is recommended to use Windows Add/Remove programs to uninstall the older version before starting a new installation. Also, the versions of MotoTune, MotoService and MotoServerRuntime must all be the same.


'''Warning Window'''
== Is MotoService compatible with Windows 8?==
No, MotoService is not currently compatible with Windows 8.


It is very important that there are no interruptions to the upgrading process as it will render the module unusable. A “dead” module can only be resurrected by returning to your distributor to be reprogrammed.  
== Is the MotoService Dongle compatible with USB 3.0?==


===Upgrade Details===
This problem is caused by an error in the Windows 7 driver of the USB 3.0 controller which does not treat some USB commands correctly according to the USB specifications.
The upgrade calibration patch contains the unique calibration ID to be matched with the suitable version of software.


'''Calibration ID'''
However, independent from updates from Intel, we are currently testing a new driver version for the CRYPTO-BOX with a workaround for this USB 3.0 problem. If you want to test this driver, please download it here: www.marx.com/ftp/temp/USB3/CBU_Test_Drv_21Jan2013.zip


This is the unique calibration ID for the upgrade calibration patch that is available to the module.  
IMPORTANT: The driver should work fine but is currently not yet digitally signed! To install it under Windows 7 64-bit versions, you have to restart the computer and hit the F8 key multiple times before Windows starts. Then choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". This has to be done each time Windows starts when using this driver. We will offer a WHQL certified version of the driver as soon as we have finished testing and passed certification procedure. Make sure that you have plugged in the CRYPTO-BOX. Unzip the driver package. Open the Device Manager, right-click on the "CBUSB ver 2.0" device and choose "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" -> "Have Disk". Now select the corresponding 32- or 64-bit .INF file from the driver package and click "OK". If Windows says that the driver is not signed, choose that you want to install the driver anyway.


'''Software ID '''
'''Another USB 3.0 Workaround'''


This is the ID assigned to a particular version of software. Only compatible calibrations can be used with each version of software. MotoUpdate™ will try and match the Software ID found on the module with the Software ID on the upgrade calibration patch.  
Turn off the xHCI mode in your computer's BIOS settings. This will cause the super-speed of the USB 3.0 interface to throttle down to high-speed (USB 2.0); in our tests it ran perfectly. Most motherboards allow you to disable the xHCI mode in the BIOS selectively to individual USB 3.0 ports, so you can still use the other ports at full speed.


'''Comments'''
==Why do I see an "XML load error"?==
[[image: Motoservice_error.JPG]]


This provides a description for this upgrade calibration patch.
This error is caused when .net framework 4.0 becomes corrupted or deleted. Re-install .net framework 4.0 to fix the issue. The .net framework is freely available for download on the web.


'''OK'''
== How do I create a MotoService install package for my service technicians? ==


Click OK to back up to previous window – Upgrade Options window.
Download '''[http://www.neweagle.net/support/wiki/docs/RequiredFiles/MotoService_RELEASE_8_13_7_120.zip MotoService]''', and unzip that file on your engineering machine. Inside, the zip will look like this:


===Programming the module===
[[File:motoservice_unzip1.jpg]]
MotoUpdate™ will now proceed with the upgrading.
First it will look for the module on the specified location. Once the module is found, MotoUpdate™ will begin programming the upgrade calibration patch onto the module.The programming process should take less than 1 minute using the CAN bus, slightly longer if using serial bus.
 
Once programming is complete, you will be given the option of upgrading another module or the quit MotoUpdate™ application. Click Finish to quit the application. Check the Upgrade again option and click Next to proceed to upgrading another module.
 
===Troubleshooting===
Most commonly occurring problems you may come across are caused by synchronization or connection problems between MotoUpdate™ and the module while programming the module. Below are a few things you can check to rectify these problems.
 
*Check that the module has been powered up.
*Check that the USB-to-CAN cable has been connected properly.
*Check the Port Configuration of MotoServer has been configured properly.
*Check if you have a licensed dongle and it has been plugged properly into the USB port. (Moving the mouse pointer over the *MotoServer icon on the icon tray will determine if the dongle is plugged properly and that you have a licensed dongle)
*Close both the MotoServer and MotoUpdate™, then restart MotoUpdate™. (MotoServer will restart automatically once you reopen MotoUpdate™)
==MotoViewer™==
MotoViewer™ is MotoTron's PC-based display tool and provides all of the functionality needed for parameters in a MotoTron module. A user friendly, intuitive MS Windows-based display interface provides the user with easy access to all of the display-related RAM and ROM parameters contained in a MotoTron control unit.
 
MotoViewer™ consists of a basic window with a Menu Bar, a Display Area and a Status Bar. Any displays which are opened will be placed in the Display Area. Remember that for MotoViewer™ to work, you must have a licensed dongle plugged into the computer. See Troubleshooting if licensee name does not show up.
 
'''Main Window'''
This is the main window with the Menu Bar, Display Area and Status Bar:
 
 
===Using MotoViewer===
 
When you open MotoViewer™ through the display shortcut on the desktop, MotoViewer™ should open with the selected display on the screen. The display will be populated with display parameters for the connected module.
If there is no display shortcut on the desktop, you will need to first open MotoViewer™ independently.
Once MotoViewer™ is opened, click on File on the Menu Bar and select Open from the sub-menu. You can also make use of the default shortcut key by typing Alt+O. Select the required display file to open a display.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can MotoService be installed on a computer with MotoTune?

No, MotoTools does not support multiple versions installed simultaneously. For all MotoTools (MotoUpdate, MotoViewer, MotoTune and MotoServerRuntime) the user should have only one version installed. It is recommended to use Windows Add/Remove programs to uninstall the older version before starting a new installation. Also, the versions of MotoTune, MotoService and MotoServerRuntime must all be the same.

Is MotoService compatible with Windows 8?

No, MotoService is not currently compatible with Windows 8.

Is the MotoService Dongle compatible with USB 3.0?

This problem is caused by an error in the Windows 7 driver of the USB 3.0 controller which does not treat some USB commands correctly according to the USB specifications.

However, independent from updates from Intel, we are currently testing a new driver version for the CRYPTO-BOX with a workaround for this USB 3.0 problem. If you want to test this driver, please download it here: www.marx.com/ftp/temp/USB3/CBU_Test_Drv_21Jan2013.zip

Turn off the xHCI mode in your computer's BIOS settings. This will cause the super-speed of the USB 3.0 interface to throttle down to high-speed (USB 2.0); in our tests it ran perfectly. Most motherboards allow you to disable the xHCI mode in the BIOS selectively to individual USB 3.0 ports, so you can still use the other ports at full speed.

Why do I see an "XML load error"?

This error is caused when .net framework 4.0 becomes corrupted or deleted. Re-install .net framework 4.0 to fix the issue. The .net framework is freely available for download on the web.

How do I create a MotoService install package for my service technicians?

Download MotoService, and unzip that file on your engineering machine. Inside, the zip will look like this:


Inside 'ecufiles', add 'Programs' and 'TDBDLL', so it looks like:


You can add any MFU's or MotoTune dll's that are needed for your customers. You might want to add a 'Displays' folder, too, with any MotoTune displays your service technicians will need.

You can edit PortInfo.cfg to add/remove ports (these will be added/removed on the installed machine).

The example above will make it so that your customer has just PCM-1 on the machine after running the installer.


After these steps are complete, move the whole folder to a thumb drive (you might burn it to a CD) and then install on a new machine, running 'MotoService RELEASE 8.13.7.120.exe' from the thumb drive. Do not zip up the files, simply copy the whole directory out to the thumb drive (or burn to CD). See below:
