Install the MDI driver, and there will be an option to select the device.

If use VXDIAG VCX NANO GM, select the device type as MDI or VXDIAG.

If use VXDIAG VCX SE series devices, select device type as MDI2 or VXDIAG.

If there is a VXDIAG device option, select VXDIAG J2534 as your first choice, otherwise choose MDI2 (vcx se) or MDI (vcx nano).
