1x PDI Builder

1x PDI Builder is the main configuration tool to adapt a Veronte Autopilot 1x to a specific vehicle, including user-defined communication protocols. 1x PDI Builder allows the user to change the configuration inside the autopilot, create new configurations or work on a configuration offline.

Note

For more information about the installation and use of 1x PDI Builder, visit the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

Once the application is installed, the user has two options to configure the autopilot. On the one hand, the user can download one of the templates provided by Embention that best suits his platform, on the other hand, the user can configure the Autopilot 1x from scratch.

Tip

It is highly recommended to follow the first option, which is explained throughout this step-by-step.

  1. Open the 1x PDI Builder application and select the connected Autopilot 1x:
