Allison Transmission offers Allison DOC for PDA (WTEC), a Palm PDA (personal digital assistant)-based diagnostic software application. This diagnostic tool supports control systems for the Allison MD 3000, HD 4000, B300, B400, B500, 3000 MH, 4000 MH, T 200, T 300, and T 400 using World Transmission Electronic Controls (WTEC II and WTEC III).

DOC for PDA (WTEC) lets a technician use a hand-held PDA to access diagnostic data from the transmission control system and systematically troubleshoot transmission problems. The system can be used with or without Allison's PC-based diagnostic tool (ATDT Version 1.1 or the product's later-generation DOC for PC Version 2.0 or later).

This application allows operators to gather data from the electronic controls of Allison's World Transmissions. The tool collects data via a Snapshot function. After collection, these Snapshot files can be transferred via Palm HotSync to the user's PC, where they can be e-mailed.
