5.6.2 Using Triggers
Trigger Description and Status Icons
Setting PID triggers allows you to configure the diagnostic tool to automatically
save PID data to a file, when a PID value meets an upper/lower limit (trigger point).
When a PID value meets the trigger point it activates the trigger which captures a
short recording of all available PID data and saves it as a data file.
You can replay the saved data file to closely evaluate not only the PID that triggered
the event, but all the PIDs being monitored to collectively see what was happening
at the time of the event.
Trigger indicators and the arming control are shown in (Figure 5-56).
