With the memory module you have the option of saving vehicle data and test verifications of exhaust emissions tests and fault diagnoses carried out. These can be called up again and printed out where necessary or accepted in Vehicle selection.
You can select by way of the selection window whether or how the data of the exhaust emissions tests are saved.
The following settings can be performed:
Memory module off:No data are saved.
Save vehicle with client data:After each exhaust emissions test, you are prompted to assign the test record to a client or to create a new client. The record is rejected if no details are given.
Save vehicle without client data:Only the record with the vehicle data is saved.

Using the Flight Recorder in the Snooper+
Background:
Data recording while driving for supported values
Selection from all available data lists
Setting of trigger points while driving in order to find events in the recording again
Evaluation on a PC, storage of the recorded values in the memory module
Battery indication in the WOW program:
Selecting and transferring values
1.Select the system to be tested.Click on Flightrecorder (1).
2.Follow the notes and instructions in the program.
3.Select the required values by clicking (2).(The control unit data rate varies, depending on the number of selected values).

If the data transfer fails, check the correct functioning of the data in the data list view.Follow the instructions in the program (4)
6.Now transfer the values to the Snooper+ (5)
7.The Snooper+ has been successfully configured for recording.You can now start data recording.
Data recording
1.Start the vehicle
2.Pressing the REC button (3 seconds) starts the Flight Recorder.The display colour of the multicolour LED changes to Yellow and a sequence of sounds can be heard.
Recording starts and the display turns into a sequence light.Briefly press the REC button to set a marking/highlighting (trigger point) in the data recording.
Press the REC button for a longer time (3 seconds) to terminatethe recording.
Loading recording data

3.The control symbols in the bottom left corner of the window serve to:
save the recording in the customer memory module 
display the data descriptions 
reselect the selected values 
Trigger points
As already mentioned, during data recording you can set markings/highlightings in the form of trigger points in the data. In this way you create the “blue” vertical marking lines in the data display (1). These markings are set simultaneously in all the data lists so as to ensure that the event moment in all the data is comprehensible and retraceable.
Click once with the left mouse button to create a vertical “red” line in the graphical representation. The created “event horizon” can be moved and reflects the current measured values. The event horizon is simultaneously displayed in all the graphs, regardless of which form
of data representation has been selected. This ensures that the data are comparable.
Click once with the right mouse button in the graphical representation to make the line disappear again.
