Capturing a Snap Shot
NAVIGATING THE MTS 5200 (CONTINUED)
Graphing Multimeter
The Snapshot function gives you the ability to capture, save, and playback a length of data
collected from a vehicle. When a snapshot is captured, the MTS 5200 collects data from the
vehicle for a length of time you select. Snapshots can be played back in real time or carefully
examined by scrolling through the snapshot manually.
Snapshots can be captured and played back in Secondary Ignition, Primary Ignition, 4-Channel
Oscilloscope, Graphing Multimeter, and Vacuum Waveform modes. Snapshots that are captured
in Primary/Secondary Ignition or Vacuum Waveform can be played back in any display mode you
choose, thus allowing a great deal of flexibility when examining waveforms.
Before entering the Snapshot mode, adjust the settings so the waveform you are going to
capture is easily viewable. Time/Div, Volts/Div, etc. are not adjustable while a snapshot is being
captured.
SETTING UP A SNAPSHOT
When the Snapshot button is selected, the Snapshot Setup screen displays. On the Snapshot
Setup screen you can configure the trigger point and the length of the snapshot.
TRIGGER POINT
Use the Trigger Point setting to identify the point in time that you want the tester to collect data.
The MTS 5200 has an adjustable trigger point that allows you to capture as much pre- or post-
trigger data as you want.
