#Purpose<\/strong>
\nPrognostics Download allows Prognostics data to be downloaded quickly and easily from all available ECMs. This information can be saved as a text file (.txt), refer to Figure 1.1 above.<\/p>\n

When information is downloaded and analyzed at regular intervals, certain types of Histograms and cumulative data can be valuable in identifying repairs before failure occurs. Repairs before failure provide lower repair cost and improved machine availability.<\/p>\n

All of the data in Prognostics Download is available through other service tool functions such as Logged Diagnostic Codes or Events, Current Totals, or Histograms. Prognostics Download conveniently gathers the information into one place.<\/p>\n

#Accessing<\/strong>
\nTo run the Prognostics Download function:
\n1). Connect CAT ET<\/a> to the Service Tool connector. Read More: How to Connecting Caterpillar ET to the ECM<\/a>.<\/p>\n
