Design Reviews • a process of planning and analyzing engine to machine interfaces and the application of the engine for the purpose of identifying and eliminating potential installation problems prior to actually building the machine • Installation Reviews • an audit of the first prototype or first production machine • Analytical Tools • stand alone versions of the analysis tools used in the Design Review (such as when you only want to run a cooling calculation) • Engine Database • filter and query engine database from A Series to QSK23 • Technical Library • a library of the Cummins technical information the application engineer normally needs • Components • The Components folder provides direct access to technical information on hundreds of components Advisor is a Design & Reference Tool
