4.1.1 Title Bar
The title bar at the top of the screen, provides basic information about current tool operating
conditions. Title bar options vary depending upon vehicle make and model, what test is being
performed or what menu is selected. Title bar information may include:
•
The identification (ID) of the test vehicle
•
The name of the active menu or database
•
A power source indicator
•
A vehicle communication indicator
Depending upon what is being displayed in the main body of the screen, either the vehicle ID or
the active menu is shown at the left side of the title bar.
An icon at the far right side of the title bar indicates whether the tool is being powered by the
internal battery pack, the test vehicle, or the AC power supply.
