RECORD DATA

The Record Data function records vehicle PID (Parameter Identification) data while the vehicle is parked or being driven. This function is mainly used for diag- nosing intermittent driveability problems that cannot be isolated by any other method.

The tool records data based on time (5 frames prior to the start of the recording, and for a duration after). The time after depends on the vehicle data rate.

The Record Data function allows diagnosis of an intermittent problem by ana- lyzing data leading up to the problem, during the problem, and possibly after the problem, depending on duration.
