Figure 4 - Operating Statistics Histogram Chart
Historical diagnostic codes are only applicable to TCFI Gen II units and TCFI units with Rev 6.0 or higher firmware. Any historical diagnostic codes logged by the TCFI unit are listed along with the number of trips (engine start cycles) since the individual code was last logged. Codes are automatically cleared after 50 trips.
Customers are often confused about the meaning of the term “trips.” This is an industry standard terminology. If a code shows 40 trips, it means that the code was set 40 engine start cycles ago, not that the code has been set 40 times.
Refer to the TCFI instructions for further information about diagnostic codes. You can clear historical diagnostic codes by using the Clear Historical Diagnostic Codes command from the Communications menu.
The elapsed time data in the various RPM bands can be displayed in the form of a histogram chart by clicking on the Histogram button. Color coding of the bars helps to interpret the data. The idle RPM band is blue, normal operating RPM bands are green and high RPM bands are yellow and red. The chart is automatically scaled for best display. You can print the
chart along with a complete statistics report by clicking on the Print Chart button.
