RECORDING (CAPTURING) LIVE DATA

E
■ A "One moment please. . ." message
shows on the display. When the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool is ready to
record Live Data, the "Record Live
Data" screen displays.
7. Put the engine in the operating condition
that causes the DTC to set.
■ If necessary, drive the vehicle until you reach the vehicle speed
at which the problem occurs.
8. When the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool detects a fault that causes a DTC
to set, it automatically records and saves approximately 20 frames
of Live Data information in its memory (according to your trigger
selection) for each PID supported by the vehicle.
■ All three LEDs will blink for three sec-
onds to indicate that Live Data is being
recorded, and a "One moment please..."
message shows on the display.
■ When recording is complete, a confir-
mation screen displays, asking if you
would like to view the recorded data.
Use the UP and DOWN but-
tons, as necessary, to select Yes or
No, as desired, then press the
ENTER/LD button.
If Yes is selected, the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool enters
"Playback" mode from which you
can view a frame-by-frame playback of recorded Live Data
(see Live Data Playback on page 44 for details). If No is
selected, the display returns to the "Live Data View" mode.
9. You can exit the "Record Live Data Mode" at any time by pressing
and holding the ENTER/LD button until the "Mode Selection
Menu" displays.
If desired, you can transfer the recorded Live Data informa-
tion to a personal computer using the optional PC-LINK pro-
gram (see instructions included with PC-Link for more infor-
mation).
Record by Manual Trigger
This option lets you select the precise time at which the Live Data
recording will occur. Record by Manual Trigger can be a very valuable
diagnostic tool when troubleshooting intermittent problems that do not
meet the requirements for a DTC to set. Even though a DTC is not
present, the intermittent problems will sometimes manifest themselves
briefly, for a few fractions of a second and/or only at certain vehicle
speeds or vehicle operating conditions.
