Scanning Configuration
SCANNING CONFIGURATION
Although you can do a quick scan with the default settings, you can tailor the information retrieved from the vehicle to suit the task at hand. A little configuration can give you much better troubleshooting information and can make the presentation of that information much more suited to your personal working style.
Follow these steps:
1. | When preparing to scan a new vehicle, connect to the vehicle briefly before you begin configuration. This will allow VCM Scanner to create a profile for the vehicle and attempt to load vehicle-specific parameters. See Creating a Vehicle Profile for instructions. |
2. | Add channels to retrieve the data you want to view and/or log. Although there are a few standard channels set up by default, you will need to add a channel for any additional parameter that you wish to monitor and any external device connected to your HP Tuners interface or to your computer's serial port. See Channels for instructions. |
3. | Modify the displayed layouts (gauges, graphs, and charts) to include the parameters you need to see. Refer to Layouts for more information. |
