4.5.7 Selecting PIDs to Display (custom display)
The
Custom Data List
icon on the toolbar is used to select which PIDs
to display. Minimizing the number of PIDS displayed allows you to focus
on any suspicious or symptom-specific data parameters. You can add or
remove most PIDs from the list, as certain vital PIDs 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.

4.5.8 Locking PIDs (to always display at top)
Use the
Lock/Unlock
icon to hold selected lines of the data in place and
prevent them from scrolling, or to release previously locked lines of data.
Up to three lines of data may be held at a time. This feature allows you
to position related parameters together, making it easier to monitor their
values and spot inconsistencies.
Locked parameters display as the top frames on the main body of the display screen,
as well as at their usual position within the data list (
). A lock icon appears
to the left of the parameter name to indicate it is locked.
