4.3. Data Logging
The built-in data logger records communication
data and ECU info when tests fail. The data could
be sent to the technical center via the Internet. A
fix file could be transferred back to the technician,
usually within 48 hours. Later, an update will be
created and posted for all users to download.
To record and send the logging file, please

the Internet. If not, please refer to the Section
