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.
