The Xentry Tablet, officially known as the Xentry Diagnosis Pad 2, is the cornerstone of the XENTRY Diagnosis Kit 4, providing unparalleled diagnostic capabilities for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This comprehensive guide delves into the features, functionalities, and benefits of this essential tool for automotive professionals.
Xentry Tablet: Powering Advanced Diagnostics
The Xentry Tablet is a powerful, portable diagnostic computer pre-loaded with the XENTRY Diagnosis software and operating tools. It boasts a 13.3-inch full HD multitouch display with 400 nits brightness, ensuring clear visibility even in challenging lighting conditions. Powered by an Intel® Core™ i5 processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a lightning-fast 1TB SSD, the Xentry Tablet ensures swift and efficient operation, dramatically reducing diagnostic time.
Enhanced Usability and Performance
The Xentry Tablet offers significant improvements over its predecessors. Four USB type A 3.0 ports and one USB type C port provide ample connectivity options. Two configurable buttons on the front, customizable via ConfigAssist, allow quick access to frequently used functions. A built-in WLAN card facilitates seamless connection to the XENTRY Diagnosis VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface), eliminating the need for a separate WiFi stick. Passive cooling eliminates the noise and potential failure points of a fan, while the long-lasting battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous use.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Functionalities
The Xentry Tablet, working in conjunction with the XENTRY Diagnosis VCI, empowers technicians to perform a wide range of diagnostic tasks, including:
- Basic Diagnostics: Quick tests, actuations, displaying actual and target values, and guided troubleshooting.
- Advanced Functionalities: Control module commissioning (XENTRY Flash), access to XENTRY Tips, WIS/ASRA (Workshop Information System/Automatic Service Requirements Assistant), and programming and coding of control units.
Seamless Integration and Security
The Xentry Diagnosis Kit 4 incorporates a worldwide availability concept, ensuring quick replacement in case of a fault. Furthermore, starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, all XENTRY Flash operations require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security. This mandates the use of a smartphone authentication app or a FIDO2-compliant USB security key in addition to username and password login.
