MITCHELL 1 OnDEMAND5 VERSION 5.8 DELIVERS CUTTING
EDGE TECHNOLOGY
POWAY, California (November
1, 2005) — With the introduction of OnDemand5
Repair version 5.8, Mitchell 1 continues its tradition
of delivering cutting edge technology that helps
maximize technician efficiency by minimizing the
diagnostic effort. The new edition of the industry
standard builds on the landmark full-color wiring
diagrams found in previous versions and now offers
CircuitSelect – a powerful circuit isolation
tool that allows users to pinpoint and diagnose
electrical problems faster than ever.
OnDemand5 Version 5.8 includes extensive upgrades
and usability enhancements that make it the industry’s
most streamlined and comprehensive estimating
and repair database available today.
“Mitchell 1’s new
CircuitSelect innovation will further simplify
electrical problem-solving for today’s technician,”
said Matt Krimple, director of product management
for Mitchell 1. “Saving repair time is critical
to improving a shop’s operation and maximizing
bottom line profits.”
The new OnDemand5 Version 5.8
full spectrum of functionalities including:
• CircuitSelect™
– Builds upon the Scalable Vector Graphic
(SVG) color wiring diagrams already in the product.
With CircuitSelect, users can highlight the wires
important to a specific diagnosis to facilitate
problem solving. CircuitSelect also allows OnDemand5
users to hide wires they don’t want to see,
giving them the ability to simplify even the most
complex problem. Using different colors, users
can highlight wires leading to
power sources and grounds that control current
flow, relays, modules and switches. The color-coded
diagrams allow users to locate the power and ground
sources at a quick glance and gain a better understanding
of which components comprise the system and how
and where they are connected.
• Transmission
Information – OnDemand5 now offers
transmission overhaul articles as well as full-color
hydraulic flow diagrams. The section includes
a comprehensive database of automatic and manual
transmission information complete with full-color
oil circuit diagrams redrawn from factory specifications.
When used in combination with the diagnostic charts,
these service "maps" make troubleshooting
and testing faster and easier.
• Inline Graphics–
Users now get incremental inline graphics support
with this and future releases. The graphics are
displayed in each Repair Article allowing users
to link to a graphic by clicking on the thumbnail
image.
• VIN Decoding
and How to Write An Estimate - More articles
have been added to this help system and, with
just a click on the VIN folder, users can find
information on how to interpret VIN information.
