ECU data view
This window is the ECU scanner with the data query list created in the script editor. Basically you can use two types of files, the script files and the data files. The script files are used for scanning and import the data into an internal database. If you save the scanned script file as a data file, you have saved the script including the database. You can save a scanned script file or any data file as a script file, but you only save the script and the scanned data will be lost because the script editor only reads the script options with no data.
1. Script data
This view shows the read-only scan options of a single script entry.
2. Query data
The view shows the transmitted and received bytes.
Query
These are the data bytes and the automatically generated protocol bytes based on the protocol type.
Response
Shows the access success and the number of protocol bytes received followed by the automatically generated data and value bytes based on the protocol type.
Value type
The value bytes can be of text or numeric value type. The following lines show different types and display values that can result from it independent of each protocol type.
3. Value display
This is a multiple view that automatically switches view and icon by data type.
Value, unit, timestamp
The view shows text or numeric values with a unit and the elapsed time since the last update. The context menu in the time range changes the time delay after which the display switches from the text “current” to the elapsed time to avoid flickering.
Error codes
A special data view for error codes with 2 or 3 bytes per encoding. You can load your own error file to display additional data. If there is a match, this also displays data for the third byte.
Command
The view logs the responses to commands, most of which are confirmed without further data.
4. Value list
The list shows every single scan that is currently in the database. Only in this view can you delete individual data items.
5. Diagram
There are two basic diagram views because the script elements can be selected multiple times. They can be displayed one after the other or together in a single chart. Use the context menu to change options or save the chart to a file. It is possible to scan more data at a later time, but if the time gap is large, the chart will be displayed with long time lines and you will have to select a shorter time range with mouse selection.
