Diagnostics Setup |
The Setup Diagnostics screen (Figure 1) is where diagnostic jobs are built and edited.
This screen is found by selecting
The "+" and "-" buttons 
let you add and delete services in your Vehicle Spy setup.
Once you click the "+" button, choose which type of diagnostics to perform, then select the job you want to setup from the list that appears.
Once a service is selected, its name shows up in the job list 
.
The name of the service, or job, can be changed by typing directly in the Job Description box 
.
Renaming is very useful for keeping organized if you plan to run more than one instance of a service.
A diagnostic job can be deleted by selecting it from the job list and then clicking the "-" button.
Figure 1: Setup Diagnostics is where diagnostic jobs are built and edited.
Jobs are configured on the right side of the window.
There are three main sections for setting up a service.
The top portion gives options for addressing 
.
The middle portion contains settings for the parameters of the service 
.
This is where things such as sub functions and data identifiers are specified.
The bottom portion gives options for the formatting of the request message to send 
.
This section is where padding and wakeups can be configured.
The message that is created can be seen in the CAN Frame(s) box 
at the bottom of the editor.
Launching the service can be done in a few different ways.
The first is to use the transmit panel.
Before this can be done, the build request message needs to be transferred to the transmit table.
This can be done by clicking the "Copy to Transmit Table" button 
.
Another method is by assigning a hotkey 
.
An easier approach to sending the request is to click the Launch button 
.
This will switch the screen to the Diagnostics screen and launch the service in one click.
When the response is returned, it will be decoded according to the diagnostic database that is currently configured.
The button with the stethoscope icon 
will open up the Diagnostics window.
Services that are already configured can be launched directly from this window.
