Before you begin, you need to understand a few simple rules:
1) Car Scanner records only the data that is displayed on the screen.
Example: if you want to record engine load and engine RPM, set “Dashboard” or “Live data” to display them.
2) In addition to the displayed data, the data that comes with the requested data is recorded too.
Example: when you request an oxygen sensor voltage, the answer from ECU always contains a short-term fuel trim (STFT). If you set Live data or Dashboard to show only oxygen sensor voltage on the screen, then you will see oxygen sensor voltage and short-term fuel trim in the saved file.
3) If you set Car Scanner to display a parameter that depends on another parameter, then the output parameter, all parameters on which it depends, and all other parameters that have the same dependencies will be recorded.
Example: if you set Car Scanner to show “Vehicle speed”, then in the saved file you will get “Vehicle speed”, “Average speed” and “Total distance”.
4) If you turned on the parameter “Always calculate and save fuel consumption”, then in addition to the above parameters, all parameters related to fuel consumption and all parameters on which the calculation of consumption depends will be recorded.
5) The file with the record is saved in two cases: when you click on the “Disconnect” button and when you turn off the “Record data” option.
If you exit the program before disconnecting from the car or go to the “Data recording” section during recording, you will not find the file with the current recording there.
6) Only data that has a numeric value is recorded. Data with a text value is not recorded.
