Patent Images
1. A diagnostic tool, comprising:
- a processor that performs a function of the diagnostic tool;
a display in communication with the processor;
a wireless communication interface in communication with the processor and configured to communicate with a remote device having at least a remote diagnostic database;
a vehicle communication protocol interface operatively coupled to the processor and configured to allow the processor to communicate with a vehicle under test to retrieve diagnostic information including diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and data streams;
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing instructions, that when executed by the processor causes the processor to;
generate, on the display, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising;
a message banner positioned on a first portion of the GUI that includes information about the data stream; and
a plurality of selectable icons positioned on a second portion of the GUI and correspond to a plurality of data streams retrieved by the diagnostic tool, wherein each of the plurality of selectable icons is sizeable.
