Snapshot Upload / Display
The Snapshot Upload/Display function of TIS provides a means for viewing scan tool snapshot data, as
well as freeze frame and capture info data on the PC. This data can be analyzed in a variety of ways to
determine when and where a fault may have occurred.
Using the Snapshot display feature involves three steps:
1. Capture snapshot(s) with the scan tool.
2. Upload the snapshot(s) to the terminal.
3. View the snapshot(s) using the TIS Snapshot Upload/Display function.
The following procedures describe how to capture, upload and view a snapshot.
