Live Data Mode Viewing Live Data - Zurich ZR11 Owner's Manual

The Code Reader is a special tool that communicates with the vehicle's
computer. The Code Reader lets you view and/or "capture" (record)
"real-time" Live Data. This information includes values (volts, rpm,
temperature, speed etc.) and system status information (open loop,
closed loop, fuel system status, etc.) generated by the various vehicle
sensors, switches and actuators.
In effect the Code Reader lets you view, in "real time", the same signal
values generated by the sensors, actuators, switches and/or vehicle
system status information used by the vehicle's computer when
calculating and conducting system adjustments and corrections.
The real time (Live Data) vehicle operating information (values/status)
that the computer supplies to the Code Reader for each sensor,
actuator, switch, etc. is called Parameter Identification (PID) Data.
Each PID (sensor, actuator switch, status, etc.) has a set of operating
characteristics and features (parameters) that serve to identify it. The
Code Reader displays this information for each sensor, actuator, switch
or status that is supported by the vehicle under test.
WARNING: If the vehicle must be driven in order to perform a
troubleshooting procedure, ALWAYS have a second person
help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other
person observes the Code Reader data. Trying to drive and
operate the Code Reader at the same time is dangerous, and
could cause a serious traffic accident.
