Select Record Data from the
DCL Func-
tion List
and press .
If a recording currently exists in memory,
a message to ERASE OLD RECORD-
ING displays.
The tool maintains only one recording at
a time, so be sure to thoroughly review
an old recording before erasing it. Power
to store recordings is provided by the scan tool’s internal battery, thus, record-
ings are stored in memory only for the life of the battery.
Once the communication link has been established, you are ready to record
data.
Never operate the tool while driving. Have another person
assist with the operation of the tool.
Recording starts when the
key is
pressed.
The tool records for a varying time dura-
tion. The recording will consist of 5
frames of data prior to the trigger point,
and approximately 20 seconds after the
recording. All applicable data parameters will be recorded for the vehicle.
When the recording is in progress, the
screen to the right is displayed.
When the recording is complete, the tool will prompt the user to play back the
recording. Answering NO returns to the
Ford Function List
. Answering YES
goes to the
Select Data to View
screen.
Playback Data
The Playback Data function is used to view a recording stored in memory. This
function is similar to View Data except the data displayed has been previ-
ously-recorded.
Select Playback Data from the
DCL
Function List
and press . If a
recording does not exist in the Scan
Tool’s memory, then a “No data
recorded” message appears. Data must
be recorded first before it can be played
back.
