With Advance Measuring Values, you can cherry pick what live data you wish to view/log. Without getting into too much detail here, on UDS Modules you have to use the [Adv. Meas. Values] function, and on non-UDS modules, if we (Ross Tech) have documentation in the form of a label file for a given control module, then the [Adv. Meas. Values] is a bonus feature.
We often get asked by customers how can they see what all data a given control module can display. If there is a label file for a non-USD module, then you can click on the [Adv. Meas. Values] button and get a list of the documented data Ross Tech has. Now this will be the same data as with [Meas. Blocks - 08], but as noted, you can cherry pick what data you view. You can create lists and save them for later use as well.
From the Open Controller screen, click on the [Adv. Meas. Values] button.
You will have 2 windows opened up:
In the example above, I've gone ahead and cherry picked the live data I wish to view/log. This is the same data as in Measuring Blocks. Notice on the smaller window on the right, the "Loc." column, the 001, 003, 004, ect, those are Measuring Block Groups numbers. And the -1, -2, -3, -4 are the fields 1 to 4. There is no 002 listing because the label file doesn't have information on Measuring Block 002.
So after I've checked off the values I want to view, you can save these settings, click on the tiny VCDS icon that the red arrow is pointing to.
From the drop menu, click on "Save Selection to file..."
Give the file a name now, "forum_sample" for demo purposes here, then click on [Save].
Now if at a later date, I wish to view those same cherry picked values, go into [Adv. Meas. Values], click on the tiny VCDS icon, select "Load selection from file..." and locate the profile I created.
Ross Tech has included several helpful profiles as well.
Enjoy.
