NOTES
SAMPLE RATE CHART
The table below shows a data chart that demonstrates the
sampling rate of the NGS unit when viewing and recording
PlDs.
NOTE: This information applies only to Ford’s diagnostic
communication link (DCL).
Some Ford PCMs offer over 100 PlDs of information. As
illustrated, the number of PlDs selected directly affects the
sampling rate or speed at which the NGS can operate. To use
the unit most efficiently, select as few PlDs as necessary,
allowing the fastest possible processing and display of
information.
