Datastream Functions

ABS / Air Bag 2004 User Guide

Figure 3.2: Datastream Screen

2

Notice the following about the Datastream screen:

Each line displays a data item. You use the Up and 
Down Direction keys to scroll through the data and to 
select lines.

The screen’s data updates as the software reads from 
the vehicle’s ECU. Each update is called a “frame” of 
data.

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, “

Datastream Func-

tions

” on 

page 20

.

The status line above the function keys displays cur-
rent software status information.

You can stop and start the live readings at any time. 
When you stop the readings, the data “freezes” on the 
screen. For details, refer to “

Freeze Frame

” on 

page 25

.

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 29

.

When you are finished using the screen, press the 

EXIT

key to return to the Diagnostic Menu screen.

Datastream Functions

There are several functions you can use on the Data-
stream screen. Most of the functions are activated with 
the function keys at the bottom of the screen. These 
functions, described in detail on the next few pages, 
include the following:

Record and Playback

 – records the data for viewing 

again at a later time. (See 

page 21

.)

Graph / Analog / LED / Digital 

– depending on the type 

of data on a line, changes the view of a selected line from 
digital to graphical, analog, or LED. (See 

page 22

.)

To Top

 – moves a selected data item to the top of the 

screen. (See 

page 24

.)

Lock

 – locks selected data lines so they are always 

included when recording and printing, even if they are 
below the viewable area of the screen. (See 

page 24

.)

Freeze Frame 

– “freezes” the data acquisition and dis-

plays past data. (See 

page 25

.)

Note:

The following functions are on the menu that appears 

when you press the More function key.

Pathfinder 

– provides quick access to the Pathfinder soft-

ware’s Quick Path functions from within the ABS / Air Bag 
software. (See 

page 25

.)

Print

– prints the data in the viewable area of the current 

data display. (See 

page 26

.)

Zoom

 – enlarges the view of a data line. (See 

page 26

.)

Sort

– rearranges the data alphabetically or with the LED 

and graphed lines at the top. (See 

page 27

.)

English / Metric Units

 – changes the units of measure 

for the data from English to Metric, or vice versa. 
(See

page 28

.)

Show / Hide LED Bar

 – displays a row of LED readings 

directly above the status line and function keys. The LED 
readings are for frequently monitored switches. (See 

page 29

.)

Show / Hide Analog

 – when analog gauges are dis-

played at the top of the screen, temporarily hides the 
gauges or displays them again. (See 

page 30

.)
