of MAN Group, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of trucks, buses, diesel

development to add new functionality to the T-200/i-VIEW Prima and
further extend MAN’s diagnostic capabilities.
"For more than 10 years, MAN has been a customer of Teradyne,” said

choice was based on the proven reliability of both the product and
supplier. The T-200 is a cornerstone in our long-term diagnostic
strategy, allowing MAN to introduce new diagnostic features, and setting
the stage for our next generation of diagnostic applications.”
"We are very pleased that MAN selected i-VIEW Prima,” said Hermann
Senninger, Teradyne Diagnostic Solutions account manager for MAN. "The
Teradyne hardware was selected for its proven reliability and

and our product group,” said Ian Legate, product manager, Teradyne
