The Playback Data screen has a Vehicle Data List header that marks the

beginning of the data list. On the Playback Data screen, lines 1-3 are used to display vehicle data parameters. The fourth line displays the Frame number and Time in seconds.

 

Negative frames and timestamps indicate data recorded before the trigger

 

event. Positive frames and timestamps indicate data recorded after the trigger

 

event.

 

Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to view the recorded PID data of each frame. The

 

end of the list is reached when only the ] (up) icon is visible.

 

Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to scroll back and forth through the frames.

 

The RIGHT arrow key advances to the next frame, “wrapping around” to the

 

earliest frame when the final frame is reached. The LEFT arrow key goes back

 

to the previous frame, again “wrapping around” to the final frame.

 

After reaching the last time interval recorded. The Time display will

 

change from data recorded after trigger to data recorded before. This is

 

normal. The LEFT/RIGHT arrows may be used to scroll through all time

6

intervals in either direction.

 

 

The Frame index is very similar to the Time index. A Frame is a “snapshot” of engine operating conditions at that moment. The Frame number increases every time the vehicle’s PCM transmits data across the communication link. Remember, not all Ford vehicles use the same number of PIDs. For this reason, not all vehicles will start and end with the same Frame number. The vehicles with less PIDs will have the greater Frame number range. Like the Time index, Frame 0 is the trigger point. Thus, negative Frame numbers contain data prior to the trigger point, and positive Frame numbers contain data after.

If you wish to change the Custom Data List parameters, press the BACK key to return to the Playback Data As: menu. When you have finished playing back a recording, press the FUNC key to return to the Ford Function List.
