4.6.9 Saving Data Files
Saving data is useful when trying to isolate an intermittent problem or to
verify a repair. During normal operation, data from the vehicle is
continuously being stored in buffer memory as it is displayed onscreen.
Selecting the
Save
icon writes stored buffer memory to a (.SCM) file.
NOTE
The Save icon performs the same function as “Save Movie” function choice
for the programmable Shortcut button, see
page 123 for details.
