SCREEN DISPLAY SAMPLES:
1. Select F0: Diagnostics from the Tech 2 Main Menu (Figure VIIA-1), “build” the vehicle, and select a
system—powertrain, body, or chassis (refer to page VII-3).
2. From Data Display, select the More soft key twice to bring
up the Live Plot soft key.
3. Once up to three parameters are selected, select Accept to
see a graph of the data.
4. All of the features on the resulting graph are available while
Live Plot is functioning. Pressing the More soft key leads to
options that allow the user to zoom in and out on the plotted
graph 50 frames at a time and change the min/max values of
a highlighted data parameter.
Live Plot
Live Plot is a Tech 2 feature that allows data display parameters to be graphed in real time as it happens.
The Live Plot function will allow up to three parameters to be plotted on a graph at one time. The data of
these parameters will be plotted as the information is received on the Tech 2 from the vehicle. This may
aid in the diagnosis of an intermittent vehicle condition by enabling the user to view data from the vehicle
graphically. Any spikes or drops on the graph can be analyzed immediately. Previously, data had to be
captured before it could be plotted. The Live Plot application is available from the Data Display, Quick
Snapshot, and Snapshot applications on the Tech 2.
