VC-Scope
Open-Source / Freeware
 Graphing "Plug-In" for VCDS
(VC-Scope is included when you download VCDS)

Quick Instructions:

• You can use VC-Scope in one of two ways:  

  • View live data while connected to a car by launching VAG-Scope.  Click the [Graph] button on VCDS's Measuring Blocks screen,

  • View data previously logged with VCDS by manually starting  VC-Scope in stand-alone and opening a VCDS Log file

• You cannot do both at the same time.  If VC-Scope is running in Stand-alone mode, VCDS will not start.   If you manually start VC-Scope while VCDS is running, it won't work (should give an error message).

• Use the checkboxes next to each display field to select which items are graphed.

• Click on a field to select it for vertical scaling.   Then change the Max and Min values in the Vertical scale boxes.  VC-Scope will remember all scaling values for a particular control module by part number.

• Click the VC-Scope icon on the top left of the main VC-Scope screen for a menu item to access a Preferences Dialog:

Preferences:

• Here you can set colors for the graph lines, the graph background and the grid.  

• You can also set default scaling values (based on the units that VCDS sends)

Gauges:

To display a gauge, right-click in the small color square next to the data you want to see on the gauge:  

 

• You can have as many gauges as there are lines on the graph.

• Each gauge can be independently re-sized and repositioned.

• Right-clicking on the gauge itself will give you several options:

NOTEs:   

• VAG-Scope can be used to play back Log files produced by any version of VCDS but only if they have not been saved or modified by any other program.

• VC-Scope is included in the all VCDS releases available on our Download Page, but you may find a newer version of VC-Scope on the VC-Scope Download Page.
