Setting Trigger Levels
The PID Trigger button on the toolbar allows you to configure the scan tool to automatically
capture data when a parameter value crosses a threshold value. When triggering is armed, a
“trigger event” pauses data collection and records a data movie, similar to an OBD-II/EOBD
freeze-frame event.
Selecting the
PID Trigger
button opens a menu that includes:
•
Set Trigger
—establishes upper and lower signal values to initiate an event capture for the
highlighted parameter.
•
Arm Trigger
—activates the scan tool to capture an event when the signal crosses a
threshold.
•
Clear All Triggers
—deletes all previously set trigger levels.
If triggers are set the menu options are:
•
Clear Trigger
—deletes set trigger levels for the highlighted parameter.
•
Disarm Trigger
—de-activates event capture capability.
•
Clear All Triggers
—deletes all previously set trigger levels.

To set trigger levels:
1. Highlight the parameter to be used to trigger the recording.
2. Tap the
PID Trigger
button.
3. Select
Set Trigger
from the dropdown menu.
A graph of the highlighted parameter with a trigger toolbar above it fills the main body of the
screen. The trigger level line displays as a solid line running horizontally across the data graph
(
). An upper and lower trigger level must be set, the upper level is set first.
