Lock / Unlock Parameters
The Lock/Unlock Parameters function is used to isolate specific parameters so they can be viewed and
compared more easily than if they were part of the larger parameters list. To use this function:
1. Select (highlight) the desired parameter, then click the Lock/Unlock Parameters icon (Figure VIIB-25).
The selected parameter will appear at the top of the data list, above a “lock line” (Figure VIIB-26).
2. To add other parameters, follow the same procedure. The “locked” parameters can then be viewed
together to compare their data values. Parameters can also be locked by double-clicking on them in the
data list.
3. To remove an item from the locked list, select it, then click the Lock/Unlock Parameters icon. The item
will be removed from the list.

Display modes can be used in various combinations to provide the most useful
diagnostic capability. It is even possible to view DTC information, locked parameters,
and graphed parameters simultaneously (Figure VIIB-27). In multi-display mode,
replay selections can be used, as previously described, to move through the snapshot.
