The text can then be pasted into any electronic document(e.g. Write or WordPad) and printed out if required.Scania Diagnos and Scania Programmer cannot be run at the same timewhen they are both connected to the vehicle. However, it is possible to runone of the programs in demo mode while the other is communicating with thevehicle.If your computer runs with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, the Taskbar inWindows (see figure below) may get in the way.
