11.5 SNAPSHOT OVERVIEW

The snapshot is a function which records parameter values over a specific duration of time. The record
feature can be triggered by pre-specified conditions (trigger conditions). Replaying saved snapshot data
is also possible.
Terms and Basic Function A. Recording Duration
Time
1. Start Pre-trigger 2. Trigger Post-Trigger duration

Pre-Trigger duration
B. Trigger point
Time Description
1 Start Pre-trigger The time point when the data list function is invoked OR the time point when trigger condition was changed. The
snapshot function starts recording of data.
2 Trigger The time point when the trigger condition is met. The trigger type is either Manual or Conditional.
The default configuration when SDT-II was invoked is Manual.
Item Description
A Recording The length of time of recorded snapshot data.
Duration It includes both pre-trigger and post-trigger captures.
The maximum duration is 1200sec (20min). User can set any duration (in seconds).
The default configuration when SDT-II was invoked is 30 sec.
B Trigger point This is the ratio of pre-trigger duration to the total duration as a percentage.
If the Pre-trigger Recording is 30% and the Recording duration is 30 sec., the pre-trigger duration would be 9 sec.
and the post-trigger duration would be 21 sec.
The default configuration when SDT-II is invoked is 80%.

11.5 SNAPSHOT BASIC OPERATION (1)

1. Once the data list function has been initiated, the trigger status becomes Pre-trigger (Fig. 11-12, 1), then monitoring of
triggering and data recording for Pre-trigger portion begins.
2. The progress bar values (2) increase until the corresponding time of the pre-trigger portion is spent. The trigger status
changes to Waiting trigger state (3). The actual recording duration of Pre-trigger changes over time, and it is between the
start of pre-trigger state and the trigger point.
3. The default trigger type, the recording duration and the trigger point are as stated in the previous page. These can be using
the procedure in section 11.5 Snapshot configuration.

16.1 OVERVIEW (4)
Operating suggestions for Data Recorder

Operating suggestions
1 Once trigger conditions are set up on the VCI for a particular vehicle, capturing data is possible even if the VCI is disconnected
then reconnected to the vehicle. However, it is impossible to use the same trigger conditions to capture data from another vehicle,
even if it is same model or same spec.
2 If multiple systems are selected, the sampling rate might be slow. The minimum necessary systems should be selected.
3 Captured data is saved on the VCIs SD card. There is limited capacity. The number of maximum number of storable data captures
is related to the number of selected systems and selected parameters (probably a few hundred). Data should be exported to PC
using the procedure shown in section 16.2 then deleted from the VCI. Once maximum capacity has been reached, the VCI is in
error state and cannot capture data anymore.
4 It is not possible to export configured trigger conditions to the VCI over wireless communication.
5 If a long recording duration has been set there may be a delay of several seconds or more between the audible beep at completion
of data recording and the completion of data saving.
6 The VCI/Data Recorder may not work correctly when a long trigger press is performed when the IG switch is off. In such cases,
turn the IG switch ON, then reboot the VCI by disconnecting then reconnecting the DLC cable (keeping the IG switch ON).
7 The counter of maximum recording number (refer to section 16.2) will be reset to zero when the VCI is powered off by
disconnecting the DLC cable. If VCI operation is resumed by reconnecting the DLC cable, the actual maximum recording number
will be the total of the number of recording before powering-off and the number of maximum recording number that was set.
(Example: If a user sets the maximum recording number to 2 and the recorded number of recording before powering off was 1,
then the actual recorded number will be 3.) For your information, data saved using the data recorder function will not be deleted by
disconnecting the DLC cable.
8 Note that the meaning of the error LED (red) varies depending on the blink interval. Long interval blinking (once per second) means
that data was stored in the VCI and it is normal behavior. Short interval blinking (3 times per second) means that VCI is not working
correctly. Detach the DLC cable from the VCI and reconnect it to VCI, then restart VCI.
