After registering at www.estware.de, users of the ATE EST Electronic Service Tool can download updates and new software modules at any time of the day or night.

The expanding reach of electronics in modern cars has led, in an increasing number of cases, to diagnostics equipment being required even for simple maintenance and repair work on vehicle brakes. The ATE EST allows workshops to carry out a professional brake service on vehicles with electronic braking systems without the need for expensive diagnostics equipment.

One of the major strengths of the ATE EST is its universal usability. Underpinning this capability is a selection of software modules that are tailored precisely to the different tasks. The software module to suit the vehicle’s braking system is loaded onto the ATE EST via a USB interface in a few simple steps using the PC software ESTWARE.

The ATE EST comes with a CD containing the ESTWARE software and a demo version of each of the available software modules. The demo versions offer the full range of functionalities for the relevant braking system. However, the number of applications is limited to three tests. Once the user has selected one of the modules, they must register at www.estware.de or by fax, in order to continue to use the product. The user is then given a link to the page where they can enable their device and select the free module included in the price of the tool. This is then placed in the user’s shopping basket and can be downloaded at the end of the ordering process from the “My Downloads” folder. Further modules can be purchased exclusively from the webshop. Payment may be made by credit card or bank transfer.

Registering the ATE EST gives users the key benefit of being kept right up-to-date on the availability of new modules and updates. This ensures that they always use the latest version of the software and allows them to extend their services to include additional vehicle models. In addition, the webshop solution for the software modules means that workshop staff can obtain the software they need fast and put it to work immediately.
