The title bar (Figure 3-3) at the top of the screen provides basic information about
current diagnostic tool operating conditions. Title bar options vary depending upon
vehicle make and model, what function is active, what test is being performed, or
what menu is selected. The title bar contains information only, there are no
selectable items.
Figure 3-3
Elements of the Title bar let you know at a glance:
• Which diagnostic tool function is active
• The current time
• Wi-Fi signal strength
• The source and status of the power being supplied to the diagnostic tool
A real time clock displays to the left of the power supply icon. The clock is powered
by a dedicated internal battery, so the correct time is maintained even when the
main battery pack is discharged. Use the Tools function to set the clock and format
how time is displayed. See Clock Settings on page 144 for additional information.
The Title bar displays other information that varies depending upon what functions
are being performed. Other information may include:
• The identification (ID) of the test vehicle
