Innova SD35 SD-Advisor: Record Live Data by DTC Trigger

Purpose

To guide on you how to record Live Data by DTC Trigger using the SD35 SD-Advisor Tablet Scan Tool.

Introduction

You can record and save several frames of Live Data information for each PID supported by the vehicle in the Tablet Scan Tool’s memory. Once recorded, each session can be played back for further analysis.

This article will discuss how to record Live Data by DTC Trigger. This function automatically records Live Data information when a DTC sets and saves it in the Tablet Scan Tool’s memory. The recorded data can be a valuable troubleshooting aid, particularly if you are experiencing a fault that is causing a DTC to set. The Tablet Scan Tool can record approximately 100 frames of Live Data.
