The dashboard allows adjustments to font sizes, display types, and colors, enhancing usability. Moreover, the scanner includes a data logging feature that records and allows for playback of car sensor readings and malfunction codes, which is beneficial for offline analysis. This feature is particularly useful for diagnosing recurring issues and understanding vehicle performance trends over time.
