Tool comparison
INCAL is Cummins' distribution of ECM calibration files — the official calibration images and metadata used by INSITE (and Calterm) to reprogram Cummins electronic engines. Delivered as periodic releases, an INCAL package contains the approved calibrations for supported engine families, allowing technicians to update an ECM to a newer or corrected calibration during service. It is not a diagnostic interface itself but the calibration library the Cummins tools draw from. Correct INCAL access is required to flash genuine Cummins calibrations and to apply engineering (ECFG) updates to Cummins ECMs.
Jaltest, from the Spanish company Cojali, is a leading multi-brand diagnostic system for commercial and off-highway vehicles. It covers trucks, buses, trailers, light commercial vehicles, agricultural and construction machinery, and marine and stationary engines, with deep coverage of makes such as Mercedes, MAN, Scania, Volvo, DAF and Iveco as well as countless implement and engine brands. The software, paired with the Jaltest Link interface, reads and clears fault codes, shows live data, runs actuator and system tests, and performs parameter settings, calibrations, forced regenerations and component programming. Fleets, agricultural dealers and heavy-equipment workshops rely on it as a single tool across mixed fleets, with module-based licensing for CV, agricultural, off-highway and marine segments.
Cummins Incal (Truck & Off-Highway Diagnostic, Cummins) and Jaltest (Truck & Off-Highway Diagnostic, Cojali) compete in the same space, so the choice comes down to coverage, workflow and price for your specific ECUs.
