6.4.7 Saving Data Files
Saving data is useful when trying to isolate an intermittent problem or to verify a
repair. During normal operation, data from the vehicle’s ECM is continuously being
stored in buffer memory as it is displayed onscreen. Selecting Save writes stored
buffer memory to a file.
The Save icon performs the same function as “Save Movie” function choice
for the programmable Shortcut button, see Configure Shortcut Button on
page 140 for details.
