Important notes / prerequisites

Open Settings from the DTK home screen. The first page is Settings & Preferences. The available options can depend on the signed-in user, platform, equipment, and enabled services.

Settings that apply to the current user are separate from engine or controller settings. Use the applicable equipment workflow when changing device settings.

Windows procedure

1. From the home screen, select Settings.
2. Review the Settings & Preferences page.
3. To manage profiles, select Account Management.
4. Under Profiles and Accounts, select the user to open User Management. From there, review account status, user initials, device-registration information, subscription management, unit management, PIN changes, or profile removal as applicable.
5. Return to Settings & Preferences to review other settings.

Settings & Preferences options

• Account Management: View profiles and accounts, add a new user profile, or select an existing profile.
• Proxy Setup: Review the proxy configuration or use a direct connection when the proxy is off.
• Notifications: On Windows and Mobile, enable alerts when the adapter is out of range or calibrations are complete.
• Language: Select the application language.
• Share Location in Email: Share the mobile-device or computer coordinates in emails. Location must be enabled on the device or computer, and Guidanz must be allowed to use location information.
• Units of Measure: Select the applicable measurement system.
• Enhanced Guidanz Logging: Capture detailed application logs for troubleshooting. Enable this only when requested by Cummins support.

User Management

After selecting the user under Profiles and Accounts on the Account Management page, the User Management page can include:

• Account Status
• User Initials
• On this device since
• Subscription Management
• CalAssist Unit Management
• Intapp Unit Management
• Intapp-OEM Unit Management
• Change PIN
• Remove this User Profile

Adding a new user profile logs out the current user but keeps their profile on the device. The new user must create a PIN, just as during the initial login.

Sleep and locking preferences

• Keep Awake: When the app is in the foreground, the mobile device or computer's dim, sleep, and lock timers are ignored so work can continue.
• Display Style: Choose Dark Mode, Light Mode, or automatic changes based on Windows settings.
• Background Lock: Automatically locks the application for security when it runs in the background after the configured time.
• Background Lock Time: Sets when the application locks while in the background.
• Foreground Lock: Automatically locks the application for security when it runs in the foreground after the configured time.
• Foreground Lock Time: Sets when the application locks while in the foreground.

Service information

Create ECM Image is a single option that enables automatic ECM image creation when connecting to or disconnecting from an ECM. Review this option before starting a diagnostic workflow.

Cummins Guidanz Log File: Select Open the directory to open File Explorer to the folder containing the Guidanz debug log. Send the log directly to a Cummins support team member when they request it for troubleshooting.
