This function expands on the Measuring Blocks function and lets you select up to 12 measuring values from as many as 12 different groups from a selection dialog that shows the contents of the measuring values.   This function is available only when a label file exists for the control module being accessed.

 

The Advanced Measuring Blocks now include a [ Turbo ] button and the ability to save the list of selected items to a file and retrieve it later. To save a set of items, click on the VAG-COM logo found on the top left corner of the item selection window, then select "Save selection to file". Give the file a name and specify the directory if desired. To load a set of previously saved items, click on the VAG-COM logo found on the top left corner of the item selection window, then select "Load selection from file". Locate the previously saved file and click [ Open ].

 

Acceleration Measurement

 

When you have one or more measuring group with speed (km/h) in it, clicking on [Acceleration] will bring up the Acceleration Measurement window, which allows you to enter start and stop speeds and distances. After entering the values you want to measure, click [Start] and do your testing. When complete, click on [Save] to save a copy of your results to your C:\Program Files\VAG-COM\Logs directory.

Sample Rate: 

The frequency that the data is updated is determined by the controller in the vehicle. Selecting a greater number of different Groups will result in slower sampling. This function does not currently support the [Turbo Mode] that is found in Measuring Blocks when reading Engine controllers that run KWP-2000.

You can [Log] the data from the Advanced Measuring Blocks screen. For more information see the Data Logging page.

[VAG-Scope] is a plug-in for VAG-COM that allows you to graph Measuring Group Information and display customizable virtual gauges.  For more information, see the VAG-Scope page.

Use [Done, Go Back] to return to the Controller Information screen.

Warning!
If you wish to observe real-time data while driving the car, please use a second person!   Let one drive while the other observes the data, making sure the person holding the PC is not in front of an active airbag!  

Note: You may also want to try the Measuring Blocks function, which accesses the same data but in a different format.

Shareware Limitation(s):  This function is not available in shareware mode.
