1. A data recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle comprising:
- a determination section for determining whether or not the control unit terminates an operation for outputting the control parameter to be recorded; and
a control section for shutting down a power supply to the data recording apparatus, at a timing at which the termination of the operation is determined, when the determination section determines that the control unit terminates the operation.

Abstract
In a data recording apparatus for recording control parameters in a control unit in a vehicle, it is determined whether or not the control unit has terminated an operation for outputting control parameters to be recorded. Then, when it is determined that the control unit has terminated the operation, shut-down processing is executed at a timing at which the termination of the operation is determined for shutting down a power supply to the data recording apparatus.

3. A data recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle comprising:
-
a determination section for determining whether or not the control unit terminates an operation for outputting the control parameter to be recorded;
a detection section for detecting a signal outputted from the vehicle in association with a turning off of an ignition switch; and
a control section having switchable shut-down modes including a first shut-down mode and a second shut-down mode, wherein the control section executes a shut-down processing for shutting down power supply to the data recording apparatus at a timing at which the termination of the operation is determined when the determination section determines that the control unit terminates the operation in the first shut-down mode, and the control section executes the shut-down processing at a timing at which the detection is made when the detection section detects the signal outputted in association with the turning off of the ignition switch in the second shut-down mode, wherein the control section switches the first shut-down mode and the second shut-down mode in accordance with acquisition contents indicative of the type of the control parameter to be recorded, and an acquisition condition indicative of a condition under which the control parameter can be acquired for effectively identifying a faulty condition of the vehicle.

4. A method of shutting down a recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle, comprising:
-
determining whether or not the control unit terminates an operation for outputting the control parameter to be recorded; and
executing shut-down processing for shutting down a power supply to the data recording apparatus at a timing at which the termination of the operation is determined when determining that the control unit terminates the operation. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A method of shutting down a recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle, comprising:
-
a first step of switching switchable shut-down modes including a first shut-down mode and a second shut-down mode, in accordance with acquisition contents indicative of the type of the control parameter to be recorded, and an acquisition condition indicative of a condition under which the control parameter can be acquired for effectively identifying a faulty condition of the vehicle; and
a second step of executing processing in accordance with the switched shut-down mode, wherein the second step includes the steps of;
determining whether or not the control unit terminates an operation for outputting the control parameter to be recorded, and executing shut-down processing for shutting down a power supply to the data recording apparatus at a timing at which the termination of the operation is determined when determining that the control unit terminates the operation, in the first shut-down mode, and detecting a signal outputted from the vehicle in association with a turning off of an ignition switch, and executing the shut-down processing at a timing at which the signal is detected when detecting the signal outputted in association with the turning off of the ignition switch, in the second shut-down mode.
