To save a set of items, click on
the VCDS logo found on the top left corner of the item selection
window, then select "Save selection to file". Give the file a name and
specify the directory if desired. To load a set of previously saved
items, click on the VCDS logo found on the top left corner of the
item selection window, then select "Load selection from file". Locate
the previously saved file and click [ Open ].
When you have one or more measuring group
with speed (km/h) in it, clicking on
[Acceleration]
will bring up the Acceleration Measurement function, which is described
on the Acceleration Measurement page.
Sample Rate:
The frequency that the data is updated
is determined by the controller in the vehicle. Selecting a
greater number of different Groups will result in slower
sampling.
In Engine controllers using KWP-2000, there is a
[Turbo] button in
Measuring Blocks screen. Pressing this
button can significantly speed up sampling, for example over 30
samples per second when logging a single group in our Touareg. Once you have pressed
[Turbo] you will
remain in this High-Speed mode until you exit the Measuring
Blocks screen. This function is only available when using a HEX
Interface.
You can
[Log] the data from the
Advanced Measuring Blocks screen. For more information see the
Data Logging page.
If you'd like to record just a snapshot in time of the current
readings in each group, click on
[Save].
This will save the results to your PC, typically in in your VCDS\Logs
directory
like this:
measuring-blocks-save-8035.txt
[Graph]
will
open up VC-Scope, a plug-in for
VCDS
that allows you to graph Measuring Group Information and display
customizable virtual gauges. For more information, see the
VC-Scope page.
Use
[Done, Go Back] to return to
the Controller Information screen.
Warning!
If you wish to observe real-time data while driving the car, please use
a second person! Let one drive while the other observes the data,
making sure the person holding the PC is not in front of an active
airbag!
Note: You may also want to
try the Measuring Blocks
function, which accesses the same data but in a different
format.
