As you move the cursor, notice:

•  the PID value (middle number in the 

margin) may change, and

•  the time corresponding to the PID value 

(middle number at the bottom of the 
screen) changes.

 

Although you can choose four PIDs for 

playback, you can view only two at a time 
on the graph. However, you can rotate 
through all of the PIDs you selected by 
pressing buttons 

2

 and

6

 

also cancels the graph of the 
second PID (screen’s right margin) 
so you can isolate a PID (screen’s left 
margin) and display its graph alone 
on the screen
