Does it read out for ALL operational variables?

I have ONE, at least, which is not within spec. And without a DTC, I have to essentially see the whole operating system.

I think Windows is easier than this (and I do Linux OS). Command line interface doesn't scare me, but reading fuel trim cells - hmmm ...


I did the comma separated values data file, posts 37 - 39, this thread. Posted format didn't come out too well, and pertinent values might not appear, but I'm working on it.

Even BEFORE that, I need to know WHICH values to include in the 'Bit Data'. EGR duty cycle, and Vehicle Speed, for example, aren't necessary...
