HOLDING A FRAME OF DATA
To ca p t u r e and hold a si n g l e frame of da t a press Y while in “Codes & Data”. A
data frame is one data transmission cycle from the ECU data stream. When
holding a frame, all data readings are locked at the last readings before pressing
Y, the top line of the display looks like this:
HLD in the upper left corner indicates that a frame is held. It is now possible to
scroll through the data readings to review the held values. Press Y again to
release the held frame.
If N is pressed to exit while a frame is held, the frame will be held in Scanner
memory. The frame can be printed from the “Print Fame” option on the “Exit”
menu. The frame can be released after printing in two ways:
1: Select “Resume” from the “Exit” menu to re-enter “Codes & Data”. Press Y
again to release the held frame. Continue viewing data or press N to exit.
2: From the “Exit” menu, press N for the “Main Menu”. If a frame of data is held,
it will be released automatically when going to the “Main Menu”.
RECORDING A MOVIE
A lengthy data movie can be recorded. Recording time will take from a few seconds
to several minutes, depending on the baud rate (speed) of the vehicle ECU and
the parameters set with the Custom Data List, (if applicable).
To record a movie, fi r s t se l e c t “Codes & Data”. Press N for the “Exit” menu and
choose “Arm Movie” from the “Exit” options. Pressing Y to arm the movie erases
any earlier movie in the Scanner and returns to the previous data mode. The top
line of the display looks like this:
ARM indicates that the movie is armed and will be triggered when Y is pressed.
When the movie is armed, the Y button no longer holds a single frame of data. It
now acts as a trigger for the movie recording. Press Y to trigger the recording of
the last frames at any time. The movie will record 75 % of the data frames that
occur before pressing Y and 25 % after. The frame count starts when the Y button
is armed to trigger the movie. If the engine is not run long enough for the ECU to
transmit 75 % of the data frames after arming the movie, the movie length before
the trigger point will be shorter than the 75 % frame maximum. When Y is pressed
to start the movie, the top display line looks like this:
