Since this is the first release of a major long term project, there will be many revisions and bug fixes over the next few weeks.

This release is only compatible with our second generation diagnostic interfaces. If you have purchased your kit after February 2008 then it is a second generation kit.

The cable with a box in the middle of the wire are first generation cables.
Cables with the electronics in the connector can be either first or second generation
If the cable has the light on the side that reads “Durametric” or “Softronic” then it is a second generation interface
If the light is on the side that says “Enthusiast” or “Professional” then it is a first generation interface
Customers with first generation interfaces can upgrade to the second generation interface for $150 USD. These customers may contact Durametric or Softronic as required.

Both Durametric 6.0 and Durametric 5 can be installed at the same time on the same computer.
To run Durametric 6.0, you will need to:

1.Install the stand-alone interface drivers.
