<Note>
• Even if triggering occurs, the recording operation will
continue until the button is touched.
• Once the recording screen is displayed, the amount of
available PC hard disc space will be checked. If 100 MB
or less space is available, a message will be displayed
and the recording operation will be canceled.
• Once 20,000 data points have been recorded, a message
will be displayed and the recording operation will end. (If
the sampling interval is 1 second, then 1 data point will be
recorded each second. Therefore, when converted to
time, approximately 5.5 hours are required to record
20,000 data points. If the sampling interval is 10 seconds,
the time conversion will be approximately 55 hours. If
the sampling interval is 1 minute, the time conversion will
be approximately 333 hours.)
• In the event that an error occurs during the data recording
operation, all data recorded up until the time of the error
will be saved.

I/F Cartridge --- An I/F cartridge is used when a particular situation cannot be handled
solely by MUT-III, such as for unusual ECU communication methods, or
for the expansion of MUT-IIIfunctionality. The Electronic Governor I/F
cartridge used with the MUT-II, as well as several varieties of Air
Suspension I/F cartridges, can be utilized interchangeably, without
modification.
M
Memory Card --- A form of removable media used for data storage.
MUT-III utilizes flash memory, which enables data content to be
changed via electrical charge and allows content to be preserved even
when powered down. This feature allows the unit to retain operational
data

Glossary
O
Online Help --- Also referred to as Online Manual. The operating manual is converted
to data (files) for the Online Help function, allowing users to view brief
explanations on the screen, while the application is running. For the
operation currently being performed, Online Help provides explanations
of the operating procedures, processes and methods used for each
function.
R
RAM --- Abbreviation for the term Random Access Memory. A memory device that
permits both read and write data operations. Data stored in RAM is erased
when the power is turned off.
ROM --- Abbreviation for the term Read Only Memory. A read-only memory device.
Data stored in ROM will remain, even when the power is turned off.
S
Serial Communication --- A method of communication in which bits of digital data are
transmitted, one after the other, using a communication line.
When using MUT, this type of communication method is called
"Serial Communication" in order to provide contrast with the
alternate method, called "Pattern Diagnosis," particularly when
DTCs are read from the ECU via communications.
Slide Bar --- A data entry method in which values are entered by moving a sliding bar.
SWS --- Abbreviation for the term Smart Wiring System. A single-harness wiring system
that performs centralized coordination of multiple electrical signals, in order to
minimize the number of harnesses utilized. SWS is an upgraded version of a
multiplex transmission system that enables the usage of lightweight harnesses
and facilitates multi-functional operations for electrical devices.
V
V.C.I. --- Abbreviation for the term Vehicle Communication Interface. A communication
interface device used to connect a vehicle ECU to a PC.
