I hate to tell you but scanners were not designed to be used while driving just to read fuel trims, In fact scanner vendors make it clear not to use their product while driving.
So what your saying is if the car is parked, the engine is not running and the key is on, the tech should have to build 10 different tests to see 195 functions to catch a random problem and compare to other functions but cannot because it is not being scanned at the same time.
Ever hear of a picture is worth a 1,000 words ?
well I'd rather do a quick test with 195 concurrent functions rather piece meal many tests taking much longer time to see them all.
Your also saying since there is zero constaints to limit user to scan 20 maximum functions and that a scanner that does dicate this is a good product and the one that gives user a larger volume of concurrent functions is a lousy product.
Is it not funny the Ease scanner is a recommended EPA I/M 240 smog tester and the other 2 brands are not ?
As to the timeframe, your being fooled, depending on the mode you set the PCM, you can request many PIDs values at once in a short timeframe versus a scanner who asks for each pids value, one at a time.
A PID's value is mostly 1 or 2 bytes, that's 16 bits worse case,
200 PIDs, lets say that is 3,200 bits,
are you saying that overhauls a 10,400 baud PCM link even at low speed ?
Nobody in their right mind would want to do 200 PIDs concurrently at 150 MPH but don't tell me a scanner should dictate that I cannot do that while car is parked or at low speed.
If that does not click ask your scanner to report the instrument cluster values(M070 signal set), you want to be sure all gauges are getting correct values to determine if the gauges are at fault or the sensor that supplies the values.
Well under your theory its not needed but in truth it is because your scanner will not allow it, the one I use does.
