1. A data recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle, said apparatus comprising:
- a determination section configured to output a data request signal to the control unit and configured to determine whether an operation of the control unit has terminated based on whether said control parameter from the control unit is received by said determination section in response to the data request signal, said operation outputting the control parameter to be recorded; and
a control section configured to shut down a power supply to the data recording apparatus, at a timing at which a 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, said apparatus comprising:
-
a determination section configured to output a data request signal to the control unit and configured to determine whether an operation of the control unit has terminated based on whether said control parameter from the control unit is received by the determination section in response to the data request signal, the operation outputting the control parameter to be recorded; a detection section configured to detect a signal outputted from the vehicle in association with a turning off of an ignition switch; and a control section having a plurality of switchable shut-down modes comprising a first shut-down mode and a second shut-down mode, wherein the control section executes a shut-down processing configured to shut down power supply to the data recording apparatus at a timing at which a termination of the operation is determined when the determination section determines that the control unit terminates the operation in the first shut-down mode, wherein the control section executes the shut-down processing at a timing at which a 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, and wherein the control section switches the first shut-down mode and the second shut-down mode in accordance with acquisition contents indicative of a type of the control parameter to be recorded and an acquisition condition indicative of a condition under which the control parameter can be acquired to effectively identify a faulty condition of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 23)

4. A method of shutting down a recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle, comprising:
-
outputting a data request signal to the control unit and determining whether an operation of the control unit has terminated based on whether said control parameter from the control unit is received in response to the data request signal, the 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 a termination of the operation is determined when said determining whether the operation of the control unit has terminated occurs. - View Dependent Claims (5, 12, 24)

6. A method of shutting down a recording apparatus for recording a control parameter in a control unit in a vehicle, comprising:
-
switching a plurality of switchable shut-down modes comprising a first shut-down mode and a second shut-down mode, in accordance with acquisition contents indicative of a 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 executing processing in accordance with the switched shut-down mode, said executing comprising; outputting a data request signal to the control unit and determining whether an operation of the control unit has terminated based on whether said control parameter from the control unit is received in response to the data request signal, the operation for outputting the control parameter to be recorded; executing shut-down processing for shutting down a power supply to the data recording apparatus at a timing at which a termination of the operation is determined said determining whether the operation of the control unit has terminated occurs, in the first shut- down mode; 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. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 25)
