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 Scan Tool’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 recorded
(captured) data can be a valuable troubleshooting aid, particularly if you
are experiencing a fault that is causing a DTC to set.
