Cloud and reporting functions:

The Phoenix Elite features extensive cloud integration and reporting capabilities, ideal for workshops that document professionally and collaborate.

• Cloud storage of reports: Diagnostic reports are automatically saved in the Topdon cloud and accessible from any device with your account.
• Direct report sharing: Send pre-scan and post-scan reports directly via email, QR code, or link – without the need for a computer.
• Synchronize vehicle history: All diagnostic data remains linked to the vehicle and is available on multiple devices within the same workshop environment.
• Generate PDF reports: Create professional diagnostic reports and save them locally or online for customer communication or internal archiving.
• Real-time synchronization: Once WiFi is available, fault codes, measurements, and test results are automatically uploaded to your cloud account.
• Remote management: Workshop managers can monitor live diagnostics and open reports via the linked user portal.

Additional features:

The Phoenix Elite offers various smart features to enhance ease of use and support the workshop workflow.

• Pre-scan and post-scan reporting: Record fault code and system status before and after an intervention for transparent reporting.
• Multiple live data graphs: Compare real-time data from various sensors in one combined graph field for quick analysis.
• Automatic vehicle recognition (VIN): Automatically reads the chassis number and selects the correct vehicle profile.
• System status in color codes: Displays the status of modules with visual color indicators (green, yellow, red) for quick interpretation.
• Retrieve vehicle history: The device remembers previously scanned vehicles and automatically loads the associated settings and reports.
• Screenshot and file management: Capture fault codes or measurements as images and manage them in the internal memory.
