Record Live Data
You can record and save several frames of Live Data information for each PID supported by the vehicle in the Tablet Scan
Tool’s memory. Once recorded, each session can be played back for further analysis.
There are two ways that the Tablet Scan Tool can record Live Data:
Record by DTC Trigger
Record Manually
Record by DTC Trigger
This function automatically records Live Data information when a DTC sets and saves it in the Tablet Scan Tool’s
memory. The recorded data can be a valuable troubleshooting aid, particularly if you are experiencing a fault that is
causing a DTC to set. The Tablet Scan Tool can record approximately 100 frames of Live Data.
