VAG-Scope
Open-Source / Freeware
Graphing "Plug-In" for VAG-COM
(VAG-Scope is included when you download VAG-COM)

vag scope


Quick Instructions:

You can use VAG-Scope in one of two ways:

View live data while connected to a car by launching VAG-Scope. Click the [VAG-Scope] button on VAG-COM's Measuring Blocks screen,

View date previously logged with VAG-COM by manually starting VAG-Scope in stand-alone and opening a VAG-COM Log file

You cannot do both at the same time. If VAG-Scope is running in Stand-alone mode, VAG-COM will not start. If you manually start VAG-Scope while VAG-COM is running, it won't work (should give an error message).

Use the checkboxes next to each display field to select which items are graphed.

Click on a field to select it for vertical scaling. Then change the Max and Min values in the Vertical scale boxes. VAG-Scope will remember all scaling values for a particular control module by part number.

Click the Icon in the upper-left hand corner for a menu item to access a Preferences Dialog:

vagscope

Preferences:

Here you can set colors for the graph lines, the graph background and the grid.

You can also set default scaling values (based on the units that VAG-COM sends)

Gauges:

To display a gauge, right-click in the small color square next to the data you want to see on the gauge:

v-techuk

You can have as many gauges as there are lines on the graph.

Each gauge can be independently re-sized and repositioned.

Right-clicking on the gauge itself will give you several options:

NOTES:

VAG-Scope can be used to play back Log files produced by any version of VAG-COM.

In order to graph live data in real-time, you must use Release 303.1 or newer.

VAG-Scope is included in the all VAG-COM releases available on the VAG-COM Download Page, but you may find a newer version of VAG-Scope on the VAG-Scope Download Page.
