6.4.10 Using Triggers
Trigger Description and Features
Setting PID triggers allows you to configure the diagnostic tool to
automatically save PID data to a file, when a PID value meets an upper/
lower limit (trigger point).
When a PID value meets the trigger point it activates the trigger which
captures a short recording of all available PID data and saves it as a data file.
You can review the saved data file to closely evaluate not only the PID that triggered
the event, but all the PIDs being monitored to collectively see what was happening
at the time of the event.
Examples of the following trigger states (Armed / Not Activated - upper image) and
(Activated - lower image) are shown in (
).
