3c. Dynamic OBD data collection

Manipulate the Vehicle's RPM so it falls in the acceptable Low RPM range (indicated by the green portion of

the graphic, and also displayed below the graphic).

When the Vehicle's RPM is in the appropriate Low RPM range, keep the Vehicle's RPM in the range for the

duration of data collection.

The amount of time remaining is displayed above the graphic
The current RPM is displayed to the left of the graphic
The position of the black triangle on the graphic reflects the current RPM

At the conclusion of Low RPM data collection, the system will determine the required High RPM range.

begins again once the RPM is in the required range. The timer resets in this case.

Note: If there are problems with the connection from the DAD to the Vehicle during OBD data collection,

and the connection issues cannot be resolved through retrying, the inspection may need to be aborted.
