Action

Specifies the action that the script should take:

• Start: Start the selected diagnostic job if it is not running.
• Wait Until Complete: Pause the function block at this step until the diagnostic job is finished.
• Save: Save the data collected by the diagnostic job.
• Stop: Stop the selected diagnostic job if it is currently running.
• Call: Start the diagnostic job and then wait until it is finished. (This combines the Start and Wait Until Complete actions.)

Diag Job

Allows you to select the diagnostic job that this command should act upon. The diagnostic jobs in the current Vehicle Spy setup will be listed in the white box; simply click on the one you want and then press the OK button.

The Find box allows you to more easily locate the right job in large setups. Type a string in the box to filter the list of diagnostic jobs shown in the selection box, so that only those that match the entered string appear. Press Clear to resume showing all diagnostic jobs again.
