Bavarian Technic software will display actual values from supported control modules. Actual values are real-time data values received directly from the control unit, typically sampled when the car is running. You can use the actual values for troubleshooting or maintenance procedures.
The Actual Values feature reads values direct from the control unit and displays them on the screen in real-time.
Actual Values are also known as "Diagnostic Requests" in factory systems
Values are displayed on a graph, digitally, or both.
Multiple values can be selected for simultaneous display.
Sampled values can be recorded in Excel* or CSV format for later reference.
Input signals are now part of the actual values display.
Input signals differ from actual values because they typically show Boolean values like "On/Off", "Open/Closed", and "Yes/No."
Input signals display the status of switches and controls.
The Activations tab found under the Actual Values option gives you the ability to activate supported components within the car while sampling actual values.
The Options tab allows you to change the display, start and stop sampling, and save sampled values to a file.
To see a list of models and control units that support actual values, please check our Model/Feature Matrix.

Here is an example of the Actual Values screen: 



Warning! Actual values should never be used by driver in a moving vehicle. All actual values are approximate.
