#Accessing
1). Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector, and establish communication with the ECM.
2). To run the Real Time Graphing function, select Real Time Graphing from the Information menu.

3). The Real Time Graphing screen is displayed. The Select Graph Set dialog box is displayed the first time this tool is accessed.

If the Select Graph Set dialog box displays:
1). Click the New button to create a new set. The Maintain Graph Sets dialog box is displayed.
2). Select a set from the Select Graph Set list box. As a graph set is selected, the parameters for that set display in the Parameters list box.

#Screen Layout
The Real Time Graphing screen has the following areas:

ECM Title Area – The ECM title area displays the name of the selected graph set.
Error Status Text Box – The Error Status Text Box displays errors that occur while retrieving the parameter value. If more than one error occurs, the text box changes to a drop-down list for viewing all errors. “No Error Present” displays if there are no errors. “Unable to plot value” displays if the selected parameter cannot be plotted.
Legend Area – The Real Time Graphing legend area displays the selected parameters and is located above the graph. These parameters display with the corresponding line color. These colors cannot be changed. Parameters with an error will display an asterisk to indicate the parameter error is listed in the Error Status text box. The status parameter and its unit of value display on the y axis. These display on each side of the graph. These parameters display in the line color.
Graph Area – The Real Time Graphing area displays the time in seconds on the x axis (ten seconds is default) and the minimum and maximum values for each parameter on the y-axis. State parameters (for example, the only status is “On” or “Off”), initially display with dashed lines until the graph begins to trace the state parameter’s value.
Buttons – The buttons available in the Real Time Graphing screen are:
