INSITE Tips & Tricks
For issues running diagnostic tests, specifically the
Regeneration Tests, unplug the vehicle speed sensor(s),
then run the tests in INSITE. The tests are failing and/or
stopping due to INSITE reading 1 mph due to the vehicle
shaking while the tests are running.


Reminder to change the hibernate mode to more than 2
hours on the PC or laptop when using INSITE. This will
reduce INSITE timeouts.
Upcoming Changes to Cummins INSITE
Cummins INSITE will be making changes in the Summer 2013. Those changes are as follows:
Will require an internet connection at least once every 90 days and when registering a new
license or transferring license.
Support for Windows 8 operating system.

Cummins INSITE 7.6.0 Overview
We are pleased to announce that INSITE 7.6.0 will be available for download through the Cummins Inc.
Update Manager in late October 2012. A DVD-ROM and administrative rights are required for new
installations. This supports all new and existing Cummins engine platforms.

NOTE: The latest INLINE 6 drivers (version 6.2.1.0) and firmware MUST be installed to use with INSITE
7.6.0.

With the release of INSITE 7.6.0, INSITE will no longer support Windows XP and Windows Vista operating
systems. The user will still be able to install INSITE 7.6.0 with XP and Vista. The user will also receive
support from the INSITE help desk if they are using XP and Vista with 7.6.0. The drop in support means that
if the issue is specific to the operating system (XP or Vista), INSITE will no longer support them and will
recommend upgrading to Windows 7 operating system.

New/Modified Base Features Supported
Turbocharger Actuator Calibration download only.
The Features and Parameters and Data Monitor/Logger column widths will remain the same between
INSITE sessions.
The Out of Range window in Data Monitor/Logger has been removed.
The Upper and Lower limit columns have been modified to display the Minimum Measured and
Maximum Measured values read by INSITE while the parameters are being monitored.
A performance improvement has been implemented for reading calibrations on network drives. This
greatly reduces the time INSITE spends when the "View Network Calibration Drives" is selected in the
Tools > Options > General menu.
The INTELECT folder now contains an INSITE Engine Feature file. The individual engine help files
have been eliminated. The INSITE Engine Feature file lists the help descriptions for the engines
Features and Parameters, Diagnostic Test and Advanced ECM Data help content.
The Audit Trail has been expanded to support up to 8 Audit Trail entries, if supported by the
calibration.
The Calibration Selection has been redesigned to include a separate section for Programmable
Datalink Device (PDD) Calibrations such as the Aftertreatment Device or Turbocharger Actuator. This
will allow users to bypass connecting to the ECM and download directly to a PDD.
INSITE will only display Advanced ECM Data features and ECM Diagnostic Tests if they are
supported by the calibration.
The ECM Key Off Time has been increased for certain functions in the tool.
A print preview of a template has been added to the right-click menu in Work Orders.

New Features Supported (NOTE: New features will be displayed by INSITE only if they are supported
by the calibration.)
Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Controller
This feature provides the capability to enable the Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Controller.
Cab PTO
This feature provides the ability to enable or disable the operation of PTO from inside the cab.
Fan Minimum Run Time
This feature provides the ability to set the minimum time that the fan will run each time it turns on.
Idle Shutdown Hot Ambient Air Temperature Automatic Override
This feature provides the ability to override the Idle Shutdown Hot Ambient Air Temperature Override
threshold.

injector.
