Overview
home page screen shot
The Vehicle Data memo provides any information needed to
categorize your scans in a folder. You can make a specific template. The file is
saved after each scan. Comments, log and message data are saved based on your
scan session file name. The log file will report the protocols and keywords
used to establish a connection and log-on information. The browser will
continue to try to connect until terminated by user or connection established.
Transcription errors and invalid vehicle domain requests are reported.
A status light will report connection timeouts and vehicle server problems.
The data memo, comment and log files or stored as text files. SAE protocol data bytes or
stored in a binary VP2 (vehicle media player level-2) format. Data can be exported as
spread sheet, data base, html table.
Mode 09 Request Vehicle Information provides for Vehicle Identification Number(VIN)
Calibration Identification Number(CIN) and Calibration Verification Number(CVN)
The calibration numbers and verification or used for inspection, security and virus
check of vehicle system files and programs.
Some cars year 2000+ will support the mode 09 request, and all cars in 2002 will support
CVN and CIN numbers. Verification can take several seconds depending on vehicle server
encryption used and if engine is running. For GM and Ford vehicles selecting enhanced
mode in menu can be used to read various other server "About" information such as
Copyright, file names, part and serial numbers.

vehicle status screen shot
Mode 01 Parameter Identification 01 message request reports if
your Malfunction Indicator (check engine) Light (MIL) is turned on, the number of
Diagnostic Trouble Codes and the completion of vehicle component testing. The
listed parts and systems can be either continuously or non-continuously (only
during specific vehicle operation) monitored to finalize a test grade. The
monitoring of a test can take from 1 ms to several days depending on the test
and your driving. To pass state inspection your MIL must be off and for most cars
all monitoring of tests completed and ready to determine MIL status and trouble codes.
Any changes in status are recorded and time stamped in the
history list. If the instant message result alarm is on, this page will be automatically opened.
You can also select an automatic download request based on an update period.
With a ISO-9141-2 connection this browser uses Mode 01
PID 01 as a default request to prevent disconnection by the vehicle server if you
are idle over 5 seconds. When a message is received you will be notified of the
assigned domain name and SAE address. You will also get separate notification
and data listings if multiple sites respond to your broadcasted request.
Mode 04 will allow you to connect to your vehicle's main server and erase all
diagnostic files. No password is required but you will be prompted to make sure
you want to do this. If on, the check engine MIL light will be extinguished,
trouble codes will disappear, all testing can be aborted and declared
incomplete, with monitoring restarted. Note it can take several days to monitor
and complete a final exam depending on the way you drive. Do not press this
button if you have an appointment with an enhanced inspection station within 48 hrs.
For model year 95 - 97 Volvo you can reset and turn off maintenance interval lights.
After performing recommended service, press enhanced in main menu, when offline,
to establish Volvo network login.

Real time data selection grid screen shot
This is Mode 01 for continuous real time data. You can make a request to send all data
sequentially or any combination of individual content, by selecting(highlighting) a item
and pressing send. A listing of supported vehicle data to view can be found by requesting
PID 00. You can also view all 255 mode 01 allocated data names, that could have vehicle support.
A full description is shown for the current selected item, below the data grid.
All data is time-stamped and stored. The frequency meter indicates the data acquisition
speed in Hz (data points per second). For SAE J1979 data the O2 sensor and
corresponding short term fuel trim is sent in packets, thus arriving at the same
time. The maximum legal SAE acquisition speed is 10 Hz. per request.
Speed is adjustable in menu-options-gateway-protocol in units of milliseconds delay for a
response between requests. Some networks will respond within 25 ms allowing acquisition rates
to 40 Hz depending on speed of the browser computer. Note: acquisition time is also dependent
on other vehicle computers using the network, if your vehicle has a large number of computers
on line, acquisition times will be reduced(under 10 Hz) and sporadic.
Note: ISO protocol is slower(under 10 Hz).
Units can be changed in real time for all data SI metric or English with time stamp as data pt, seconds
minutes, hours or hh:mm:ss in menu-units. If enhanced real-time data is available for your car,
pressing menu-enhanced will open a similar data grid display.
Selecting audio will produce a low to high frequency sound representation of the data value,
using the PC speaker.
[Back]
The statistical analysis (stat) panel provides average, minimum, maximum and absolute range
difference between the maximum and minimum of the selected data item with time stamp.
The rate will give current increase or decrease of data per second. Rate maximum will show
fastest rise, rate minimum fastest drop. Frequency, and period (T) in seconds or calculated
on repetitive cycling time varying signals. Peak to Peak(P-P) is the absolute difference
between maximum and minimum of the repetitive signal.
The elapsed time (ET) stop watch panel has dual triggers for positive (increasing) and negative
(decreasing) set points. The selected data timer will start when the start data value is
obtained, stop when stop value is obtained then list lap time between the points and a split
time stamp reading.

X-axis scrolling graphs screen shot
Y-axis 32 pin strip chart screen shot
3-D scrolling graph screen shot
These graph pages provide different viewpoints for real
time data analysis. The X-axis graph page contains 3 individual multi pen graphs that
scroll based on time from right to left. The Y-axis graph is a conventional 32
pen strip chart. The 3-D graph plots two variables as a function of
time.
Common to all graphs is a control panel and 3 digital panel
meters.
The control panel provides a scaled mouse position display, an auto or
manual 10 power zoom scaling control, and selection of the time base time units,
and time reset.
The panel meters allow selection of current axis labels and
data to plot. Pen, meter, axis and background colors and pen width can be changed in real
time using menu-options-color
[Back]
Freeze Frame data screen shot
When an emission related diagnostic trouble code is set,
real time data is recorded marking the event, thus you can see the actual
running parameters of your vehicle when the malfunction occurred. There are 256
frame numbers available 0-255. Frame 0 is assigned for regulated mandated data.
Frames 1-255 can be used for other purposes. Some vehicles use these frames for
additional time based fail records before the finalized test period is complete.
[Back]
Diagnostic Trouble Codes screen shot
Trouble codes are assigned an alphanumeric
identifier, a short acronym and a full descriptive name. The alpha descriptor
references the server domain: P=Powertrain, C=Chassis, B=Body, U=Network.
The 1st digit identifies the site author, 0=SAE, 1, 2, 3 is by the manufacturer or
reserved. The 2nd digit references the code group title, for a powertrain
server: 1, 2=Fuel and Air Metering, 3=Ignition System or Misfire, 4=Auxiliary
Emission Controls, 5=Vehicle Speed, Idle control, and Auxiliary Inputs,
6=Computer and Auxiliary Outputs, 7, 8=Transmission 9,0=reserved or determined
by SAE. The last two digits 00-99 define the actual body of the message. The
site author has the option to use a specific source code or a generic source
descriptor in the message. This browser will identify a generic message and
provide a list of additional code tips. Note: sites authored by manufacturers are
strongly encouraged to use the same titles as SAE. If a manufacturer code is not
listed in the browser library, it will cross reference the source code to SAE.
Mode 07 will provide a mid term test grade for continuously monitored
systems. If a device fails the first test, the code will be listed, and the
device will be given another chance to pass by taking the test over. If it again
fails the makeup test, it will be reported in the Mode 03 list of trouble codes
and the MIL light will be commanded on.
This page also provides for automatic requests for trouble codes, and an alarm
if any codes have been cleared or added by the vehicle controller. The
history list provides a listing of past transactions. The number of codes and if
any were added or deleted for the current request is indicated above each list.
[Back]
Oxygen sensor data screen shot
This page provides your oxygen sensor output characteristics and
test results, with limits listed in a time stamped grid and a voltage output vs
time scaleable graph. You can select your available sensors for location and
viewing. There is a warning message if any test is not complete. Note, not all
vehicles will support O2 sensor test results as is optional per regulations.
If no support, the results must be included in Test results described next.
[Back]
Test results screen shot
This page provides test information on various components that
are not tested continuously, but only during certain operational times and conditions.
Results will report a minimum and or maximum range of values and a pass or fail
grade. One test can be given to a class of components (such as all O2 sensors).
Each component will have an ID number.
There is a warning message if any test is not complete, and possible incorrect data.
Note the supported test type request is optional for this mode. To find out all
available tests select the all possible listing. Note this data is manufactured defined
and most manufactures to not provide definitions. Possible that data over 32767 is
represented in some type of negative notation, and the result would then pass.
In menu units you can select various negative number formats. For Ford and Daimler-Chrysler
vehicles you can download a defined test results file which will provide definitions, units
and scaled results.
Dash board screen shot
There are two 4 inch and four 2 inch diameter gauges. All gauges
conform to OBD2 range specification. For example the tachometer is 16 bit
providing a range to 16,000 rpm with a resolution of 0.25 revolutions. You have
a choice of selecting 22 different gauges. To set minimum, maximum and red
lines, click on the gauge. For example the tach. can have a range of 0-1600 or
6000-8000, or both high and low range gauges. Selectable colors are available
for needle, numbers and face plate.
