Sensors, Parameters and Graph Plot
Sensors and parameters are what most of you find the most interesting part of the software. You can monitor all the sensor values that your car reports in real-time.
The software updates the values in sequential order as fast as possible. The speed depends only on the adapter. The more expensive genuine adapters will perform faster than the cheap clone OBD2 adapters. In addition to showing the current values, minimum, average and maximum values are provided too.
Some typical sensors include engine coolant temperature, fuel pressure, intake manifold absolute pressure and air flow rate from mass air flow sensor, to list few of them. The software has support for over 126 powertain parameters (PIDs) in the range of $00 - $7F. You can pick the most suitable data reading units; both metric and imperial (English) units are available.
You can also export or save the live sensor data to a .csv file. This file can be opened with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, for example. These external tools allow you to create custom graphs of your data.
Software FAQ
Functionality:
1. I have the demo version of your Movi™/Movi™ Pro software but I donʼt have full access to the software features.
Hp keyboard model 5187 drivers for mac. The demo version of Movi™/Movi Pro™ is limited and only provides live data and indicates whether or not there is a trouble code stored in your vehicle. The demo version does not provide the viewing of trouble codes and is unable to clear the check engine light.
2. What are the capabilities of the demo version of Movi™/Movi™ Pro?
The demo version of Movi™ and Movi™ Pro allows the viewing of live data and indicates if a trouble code is present. You can not view the description, clear the trouble code or view PIDs (Parameter IDs) without the full version.
3. How do I determine if my USB to serial driver (FTDI Driver) is installed correctly?
First you must download and install the most recent FT232R FTDI driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. Be sure to restart your computer after installing the driver. If you did not purchase our USB or Bluetooth ODB 2 hardware interface, the interface may contain a different USB to serial converter chip, in which case the FTDI driver may not work. If you installed the FTDI driver from the link above, you can determine if the serial port driver was installed correctly in Terminal. Open the Terminal app in the utilities folder (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal), and at the command prompt type 'ls /dev'. Among many other things, there should be something similar to 'cu.usbserial-xxxxxx ' and 'tty.usbserial-xxxxxx'. If not, the FTDI serial driver did not install correctly. See example below.
4. What does it mean when Movi™/Movi™ Pro shows 'Scan Tool Not Found?'
This can mean a few things.
- The serial to USB driver is not installed correctly.
- The wrong serial port is selected in Movi's preferences.
- The third party interface does not have an ELM327 chip.
- The interface is not powered.
- For USB and Bluetooth interfaces, the serial port settings are incorrect.
- Wi-Fi interfaces - the Movi™ Network settings or the System Network settings are incorrect.
Ensure the vehicle’s ignition is in the “on” position. Some vehicles require the engine off and the ignition in the “on” position to connect. Verify the there is a voltage reading (12 volts or greater) in the lower left corner of the Movi™/Movi Pro™ window. When Movi™/Movi™ Pro connects to an interface, “Chip: ELM327 v.x.x” will display at the bottom of the window (see image below) along with the OBD protocol of your vehicle. If the serial port and ELM327 are displayed but the OBD protocol is not present, your vehicle may not be OBD 2 certified,This may also be an indication that there is an issue with the vehicle’s OBD connection or system, in which case you may want to try toggling the Movi’s headers on and off. (Movi > Preferences > Settings)
5. I can see that there is power in the Movi™/Movi™ Pro software interface, but I canʼt see any Trouble Codes.
Ensure Movi™/Movi™ Pro does not state 'Demo' in the title bar. at the top of the application window. If Movi™/Movi™ Pro is reading a battery voltage and displaying an ELM327 chip similar to this screen shot the issue is most commonly a communication problem. Ensure you have established a secure hardware connection as the OBD 2 plug a requires a fair amount of pressure to connect properly. You may try increasing the timeout to ensure Movi™/Movi™ Pro is waiting long enough for the vehicle’s response. Also, verify that your vehicle is OBD 2 compliant. There should be a small emission control label under the hood of your vehicle that states that your vehicle is 'OBD 2 Certified'. Lastly, in rare cases the interface will partially communicate with the vehicle even when the wrong port speed is set. In this scenario, select a few different port speeds in Movi/Movi Pro’s preferences to determine if this is the case.
6. Movi™/Movi™ Pro cannot read VIN.
The request for the VIN is rarely supported by manufacturers through the OBD 2 system.

8. What is the OBD Headers On checkbox for?
If OBD Headers On is checked, Movi™/Movi™ Pro will instruct the OBD interface to return data with an additional header prefix, which is the default. Movi™/Movi Pro™ will automatically attempt to detect if a header was returned with the data. If you are experiencing trouble communicating with your vehicle, attempt to connect to your vehicle with this box unchecked.
9. What is the OBD Protocol selection box used for?
Typically the OBD Protocol selection should be set to “0 - Automatic”. The ELM327 chip will then automatically detect the protocol of your vehicle and use the appropriate protocol. In some cases although rare, vehicles use two different protocols for sending data through the OBD port. In this case, some of the vehicles PIDs may not be displayed. If you have identified which protocols your vehicle uses, manually select them to retrieve the additional PIDs associated with the second protocol.
10. What is the Live Data Folder for?
The Live Data Folder is where the vehicle’s data files will be saved when recording live data in Movi™ Pro.
11. What is the raw data for?
You may use raw data recording to determine problems when connecting or retrieving data from your vehicle. This displays the raw data returned by the ELM327 chip. You can view the raw data in a window.
Or you can set Movi/Movi Pro’s preferences to automatically record it to a file destination of your choice.

12. What is Live Data Speech for?
Movi Movi Pro Obd2 Automotive Diagnostic Software For Mac Download
In Movi™ Pro you can enable Live Data Speech (Voices), which will audibly speak live data values when they are retrieved from your vehicle. Voices may also speak the description to help clarify which value is being spoken. Voices is useful when the computer screen is out of view while working on, or observing the function of your vehicle.
