3 Notice the following about the Datastream screen:
• Each line displays a data item. The first time
you test a vehicle, the top line displays in Graph
format and the remaining lines display in Digital
format. (See Remembered Settings on page
50 .)
• The screen’s data updates as the software
reads from the vehicle’s ECU. Each update is
called a “frame” of data.
• You use the Up and Down Direction keys to
scroll through the data and to select lines (one
line at a time). You use the Right Direction key
to scroll continuously through the screens one
at a time (until you get back to the first screen).
• You use the Left Direction key to stop the live
readings. When you stop the readings, the data
“freezes” on the screen. For details, refer to
Freeze Data on page 45 .
• The function keys at the bottom of the screen
let you perform several other functions on the
screen. For details, refer to the next section,
Functions Overview on page 40 .
• The status line above the function keys
displays current software status information.
• The LED bar, directly above the status line,
appears only when you use the More function
key, LED Bar option. For details, refer to Show
/ Hide LED Bar on page 48 .
4 When you are finished using the screen, press the
EXIT key to return to the Diagnostic Menu screen.
