DATE:  1/6/2016
TO:   ALL INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM:  OPUS INSPECTION INC
SUBJECT:  NYVIP2 SOFTWARE UPDATE
 
PLEASE BRING THIS MESSAGE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE STATION OWNER AND/OR MANAGER

A NYVIP2 software update to version 15.10.01 will be rolled out to all Emissions Inspection Stations beginning this week.  Rollout to all inspection stations is expected to take approximately one week.

1.) SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS

A.) After the update to 15.10.01, your OBDII scan tool will receive an important firmware update during the first successful OBD inspection. You will be notified on screen that a scan tool firmware update is in progress. A white screen will appear after the OBDII countdown.  Do not unplug or reboot the NYVIP2 unit.  This update will only occur during the first OBDII inspection.  Please wait until the firmware update completes before proceeding.

B.) The “Inspection Certificate/Inventory Report” and the “End of Year Inspection Certificate Report” will be activated. 

C.) On-line inspection sticker ordering and facility license renewal is now available.  Go to Station/Facility Menu – Utilities Menu - Documents and Information.

2.) UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIAL-UP STATIONS

If your analyzer communicates using a dial up connection, you must leave the analyzer powered on overnight on the Main Menu with the phone line connected. Updates received via dial up connection begin at midnight when the phone lines are less congested.

For dial up stations, your NYVIP2 unit will automatically reboot and install the new software when it is made available to your station. Please check the version indicated at the Main Menu in the upper right corner upon starting your NYVIP2 unit. The new version should be 15.10.01.

NOTE: Software updates using dial-up connections will take longer. How long it will take depends upon your phone line performance and connection. We recommend that you check your phone service contract and understand charges you will incur due to long connection periods that are common with NYVIP2 software updates.

3.) UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROADBAND STATIONS

For broadband stations, the update will download automatically. Once new software is released by Opus, your NYVIP2 analyzer (when connected on broadband) will receive the update anytime it is powered on.

Once the update is received, a message will display on your system stating: “A software update has been downloaded and is ready to install on this unit. Estimated time to complete the update process is less than 5 minutes. Proceed with update?” You must select YES to install the update on your analyzer.

If you have any questions please call Opus at 1-866-OBD-TEST (623-8378).
