When you install a PClient on a device, you will see the following welcome project (the versions shown on the display may differ).
Please note that the welcome project is also available as a sample project.
No Touch Mode
If your device has no input method, i.e. no keys and no touch, the welcome project will start in a no touch mode.
In this mode, the project will show different screens to show some information about the device. The pages are
Home page -> Device Info -> Sensors -> Power Modes -> Power Mode Time Settings -> Power Modes Configuration -> Info to USB
There will be a counter in the lower left, showing when the next page will be shown. The next page will be written there, as well.
On the Info to USB page it is possible to copy the information files to the USB stick by disconnecting the ignition for a short time (just a couple of seconds, make sure you reconnect before the low-power time out time).
OPUS B2 Standard Basic Navigation
If you run a PClient on the OPUS B2 Standard Basic (or the B2 Plus Standard Basic), the first four softkeys on the right substitute as navigation buttons.
From top to bottom these are
•Navigate Up
•Navigate Down
•Navigate Confirm
•Navigate Cancel
These buttons correspond with the JavaScript Navigation actions.
With these four buttons the welcome project can be navigated. The navigate up and down actions correspond with encoder rotations, Navigate Confirm corresponds with a Press-Release of the encoder, and Navigate Cancel corresponds with a press-release of the Escape key.
Updater Settings
By pressing the Updater Settings button you can navigate to the Updater Settings page.
On this page you can enable / disable the project download over USB, CAN and ETH (Ethernet) by pressing the according buttons. Pressing them again will inverse the current setting. By pressing the CAN Settings button you can navigate to the CAN Settings page. By pressing the ETH Settings button you can navigate to the Ethernet Settings page. Both settings buttons will only be visible when the according transfer medium is enabled.
Back returns to the main welcome page.

Back returns to the system menu.
Service Project -> System -> Send Linux Command
In this screen a Linux command can be executed. Select the field that says "command string" and a virtual keyboard will open. Enter a command of your choice. With the Execute button the command will be executed in the Linux system. If the command is faulty, it will be displayed that there was an error executing this command.
Please note that only valid commands should be entered, and only commands that will finish in a finite time. Since the execution of the command is done in JavaScript, the PClient will wait until the Linux command has finished before continuing. So a simple command like "top" will lead to a non-reactive device, because top will show the CPU usage of the processes and refresh that forever. In such a case the device has to be rebooted.
Back returns to the system menu.
Service Project -> System -> USB Update Check
In this screen the update behavior when inserting a USB stick can be selected. The default update option (active by default) is the behavior as you know it - when a USB stick with a project is inserted and USB update is enabled in the Updater section, the project will be loaded.
With the USB Update Check the behavior will be different. If a USB stick is inserted, it is checked whether the USB stick contains a project and/or OS/PClient files. If it contains either of those, a pop up alarm will be displayed, giving the options to load the project or to reboot in service mode to install the OS / PClient files.
Back returns to the system menu.
By pressing Install, the project on the USB stick will be installed.
By pressing Reboot, after a confirmation the device will be rebooted in service mode in which the OS / PClient files will be installed. Note that afterwards the device reboots again, starts in service mode, and if a PClient is installed and a valid project is on the USB stick, that project will be installed automatically, since the USB Update Check settings are volatile.
Close will return to the page that was shown before.

Service Project -> CAN -> CANopen -> SDO Test
In this screen different SDO functionalities can be tested.
Device reads means that the OPUS device will ask the ECU (aka CAN port 2) for some data values. If the communication is successful, the values in the Expected column should be the same as in the ask ECU column. The check boxes show if the values match. Create a CAN trace to see the communication process.
Device writes means that the OPUS device will send a write request to some variables belonging to the ECU (aka CAN port 2). If the communication is successful, the values in the Expected column should be the same as in the Device writes column. The check boxes show if the values match. Create a CAN trace to see the communication process.
ECU writes means that the ECU (aka CAN port 2) writes some variables in the OPUS device. If the communication is successful, the values in the Expected column should be the same as in the ask ECU writes. The check boxes show if the values match. Create a CAN trace to see the communication process.
ECU reads means that the ECU (aka CAN port 2) reads some variables from the OPUS device. If the communication is successful, the values in the Expected column should be the same as in the ECU reads column. The check boxes show if the values match. Create a CAN trace to see the communication process.
Back returns to the CANopen menu.
Service Project -> CAN -> CANopen -> PDO Test
In this screen some PDO functionalities can be tested. For the PDO communcation to start, the device first needs to be set into operational mode with the button in the bottom left.
The first two indicators show a green check mark if the cyclic receive and transmit communication work correctly. You can disable the sending of the appropriate message with the according button. This should make the red X appear. Note that the ECU is simulated with CANFreestyle mappings on CAN port 2.
The second two indicators show a green check mark if the sent value and the received value of a CANopen Receive(Rcv) and Transmit (Trn) mapping are identical.
Press the buttons to change the sent value. The received value should change to the same almost instantly. Only very quick taps on these buttons should make the red X appear.
Initially, the received values are set to invalid, so the red X will appear for both values. Once this communication was established, the green check mark will be displayed as long as the values are the same, even if the device is set to pre-operational (i.e. it cannot send or receive messages). Press the buttons to change the sent value and the red X should appear.
Also note that once the device is back to operational, only the Transmit (Trn) value might automatically update. This is a property of the CANopen standard, when a device first goes into operational mode, it will once send all transmit mappings with their current values. The Receive (Rcv) value is being sent by a CANFreestyle mapping on CAN port 2 which does not have such a feature. Press the Change Value button, then the received value should also update and the green check mark appears.
Back returns to the CANopen menu.
Service Project -> CAN -> CANopen -> Heartbeat Test
In this screen the CANopen heartbeat functionality can be tested.
When entering this page, the CANopen stack on the device will produce a heartbeat message every 100 ms (ID 0x701) on CAN bus 1. A CANFreestyle receive message on CAN bus 2 checks for this message and shows the red X if the heartbeat isn't received for more than 200 ms. If the heartbeat is received again, the green check mark is displayed.
Simulating an ECU, a CANFreestyle transmit message on CAN bus 2 will be sent to imitate a heartbeat message from the ECU every 100 ms. The CANopen stack on CAN bus 1 will evaluate the message. If it hasn't been received for 200 ms, the red X will be shown. If the heartbeat message is received again, the green check mark is displayed.
Back returns to the CANopen menu.

ISO UT
With the introduction of the UT Plugin we have integrated some pages similar to the ISOBUS sample project so users can test the ISO UT functionality out of the box.
ISO UT -> Homepage
This screen shows a UT primary view and two UT secondary views. If an ISOBUS UT pool is loaded successfully, it will be shown in the primary view. If there is more than one pool, they will be shown in the secondary views. A swipe from a secondary view to the primary view will put the pool from the secondary view to the primary view and vice versa.
On the left side there are 6 soft keys to access the different pages of the ISO UT part of the Welcome Project and some functionalities, from top to bottom:
- Home button - this page
- Full Screen button - a larger primary view with some additional functions in buttons
- Language button - a configuration screen for language and unit settings
- Settings button - a configuration screen for ISO UT related general settings
- ISB button - ISOBUS ISB stop button
- Screenshot button - Creates a screenshot of the current view
These soft keys stay identical in all ISO UT pages.
The "Back to Welcome Project" button leads back to the home page of the Welcome Project.
ISO UT -> Full Screen View
In this screen the primary UT view will be shown larger. Additionally, some buttons with ISO UT related functions are displayed, from top to bottom:
- AUX configuration button - opens the AUX configuration screen
- Cycle button - cycles between loaded ISO UT pools
- Focus up button - navigates up or increases the value in the ISO UT screen
- Focus down button - navigates down or decreases the value in the ISO UT screen
- Enter button - confirms something in the ISO UT screen
- Delete pools button - deletes all cached pools (NOT currently active pools that are already loaded)
If the full screen button is pressed in this screen again, a complete full screen UT will be shown without any other objects. Only for devices without hard keys, a back button will be displayed to be able to return to the normal full screen page. If this Back button is in the way of UT content, long press it and it will jump to a different location. On devices with hard keys, press the ESC key to return to the normal full screen page.
