RECORDING (CAPTURING) LIVE DATA

You can record and save several frames of Live Data information for
each PID supported by the vehicle in the Scan Tool's memory.
Recorded Live Data can serve as valuable information to help you in
the troubleshooting of vehicle problems.

There are two ways that the Scan Tool can "record" Live Data:

Record by DTC Trigger

Record by Manual Trigger

If the POWER/LINK

button is pressed at any time while

in Live Data mode, any stored (recorded) Live Data will be
cleared (erased) from the Code Reader’s memory.

Record by DTC Trigger

This function

automatically records (captures) Live Data information

when a DTC sets and saves it in the Scan Tool’s memory. The record-
ed (captured) data can be a valuable troubleshooting aid, particularly
if you are experiencing a fault that is causing a DTC to set.
