Negative frames and timestamps indicate data recorded before trigger event. Positive frames and timestamps indicate data recorded after trigger event.

Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to view recorded PID data of each frame. The end of list is reached when only ] (up) icon is visible.

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

RIGHT arrow key goes to next frame, “wrapping around” to earliest frame when

 

final frame is reached, LEFT arrow key goes back to previous frame, again “wrapping around” to final frame.

Different vehicles communicate at different speeds and support a different number of PIDs. Therefore, maximum number of frames that can be recorded will vary.

Some vehicles wait a long period of time to store a trouble code after driveability problem occurs. If operator selected “Trigger On Codes” when making recording, operator might not see any drastic change in data parameters before and after trigger point. In cases like this, user can manually trigger recording when symptoms are observed.

When done, press BACK to return to Review Data or OBDII Function List.
