The Runtime is being developed with multi-platform capabilities in mind, ranging from multi-platform GUI support to a platform independent runtime workflow description language generated from your OTX and ODX files. This reduces implementation and testing effort for your diagnostic applications across multiple PC and embedded platforms. MDT 2.0 let you develop your application once and have it running on Windows, Linux x86, Linux ARM, QNX and others. The optimized runtime and the MCD-3D light server have been specially developed and optimized for embedded diagnostic applications. Thanks to the extremely slim runtime system, the diagnostic application can run directly embedded in the vehicle (for example on the terminal or a telemetry unit), which offers the user of the diagnostic application completely new diagnostic options.

The MDT 2.0 Authoring Tool is based on Visual Studio® to cater to modern developer’s needs. A new, clear and modern design allows usage of Visual Studio® Plug-Ins for SVN, Git and other development extensions commonly used. In addition, new graphic elements like 2D and 3D animations can be used to make your diagnostic application more visually appealing and lower the learning curve for your service staff and diagnostic application users.
