The Snapshot option is accessed by pressing F3 from the Test Mode menu. Snapshot is used to capture and store information.
Depending on the snapshot mode, you can press a key to mark a “trigger point.” This trigger point serves as the reference point for the Tech 1 to analyze data. This data can be replayed and studied to help in locating current and intermittent problems.
The snapshot function provides numerous capabilities that allow you to:
• Store data parameters and trouble codes before and/or after a problem occurs
• Observe current data as it is being stored
• Store from 75 to 400 data samples, depending on the system
• Store time and position indexes for each data stream
• Save data for up to 24 hours with no external power source applied
• Select manual or automatic triggering
• Select different trigger points
• Store and/or print captured data on a variety of sources, depending on system options
