SPN Specified Source The SPN specified source used to identify engine events. This may be necessary when many trucksAll machines used as a means of production on a construction site or at a batch plant. are updated with EDC devices for engine diagnosticsTrackable vehicle data reported by the ECU. Such information allows a company to proactively monitor the health of equipment..
Last Plant The Last Plant associated with the equipment.
Pre/Post Trip from Engine The engine and mileage readings are gathered from the vehicle's ECUAlso known as an engine control module, this device controls engine performance by monitoring data reported by myriad built-in sensors. This data is interpreted by the ECU and then relayed to engine diagnostic hardware, such as an OBC or EDC.. This may be useful to change if many trucks are being switched to or from EDCs or when the EDC configuration is not working as expected.
Protocol The engine data protocol used to communicate with the vehicle's ECU. When switching between onboard computing devices, such as the OBC317 and the EDC, this should be used to quickly change communication methods.
Equipment Type The equipment types, such as concrete mixerTrucks with a large revolving drum or barrel used for mixing (dry batch operations) or agitating (central mix operations). Internally, spiral blades inside the drum use the “Archimedes Screw” principle to mix or discharge the concrete. or bulk hauler.

Water Units The water volume measurement used when adding quantities of water to a loadThe total amount of concrete or asphalt that is being or has been batched for delivery. with a flow meter. Flow Meter Volume Per Pulse uses this unit.
Model The model name for the selected equipment.
Flow Meter Volume Per Pulse The total quantity of water to add to readings for equipment using COMMANDassurance Probes.
Year The year the vehicle's manufacturing.
ISE Asset Type The type of equipment as shown in eFleetSuite. Usually, this is entered as Vehicle or Trailer.
