Scanner Data (Viewing PIDs)
61
Data Toolbar
The Data toolbar contains a number of icons that allow you to configure the
displayed data and to exit:
Custom
Custom is used to set which PIDs are displayed. Minimizing the
number of PIDs displayed allows you to focus on specific data and
may increase the data transmission rate from the vehicle. You can add or remove
most parameters from the list.
Limiting the number of parameters that display allows for a faster refresh rate
of the data.
z To create a custom data list:
1. Select Custom on the Scanner Toolbar.
The parameter selection dialog box with all of the parameters selected opens
(Figure 5-41).
2. Select the Deselect All icon to clear the highlights from the screen.
3. Create a custom data list by selecting the parameters to be included.
Highlighting indicates a parameter that displays, parameters that are not
highlighted do not display.
