Scanner Scanner Operation
During data display the main body of the screen is divided into two columns; the left-hand column
has a description of the parameter and the right-hand column shows the parameter value or state.
Parameters are listed in the order in which they are transmitted by the ECM, so expect variations
between years, makes, and models.
Up to three parameters can be locked, or fixed, at the top of the list. Locked parameters do not
change as you scroll through the parameter list. The
Lock/Unlock icon on the toolbar selects
which parameters are fixed (see Locking Parameters ‚ on page 33).
Displayed data may also be paused or saved for detailed review and future reference, see Saving
Files ‚ on page 36 and Pausing and Reviewing Data Files ‚ on page 37.
Customizing the Data List
The Custom Data List icon on the toolbar is used to determine which specific parameters display.
Minimizing the number of parameters on the data list allows you to focus on any suspicious or
symptom-specific data parameters. You can add or remove most parameters from the list. Certain
vital parameters may not be removed. These appear in gray at the top of the list along with a lock
icon, and they cannot be selected.
NOTE:

Limiting the number of parameters that display to those that apply to a particular situation results
in a faster data refresh rate, and reduces the amount of memory used for saved files.
