X431宝马诊断软件特殊功能介绍元征软件宝马开发工程师李游幸宝马汽车无论从车型设计、整体性能、操控性还是舒适性等方面始终遥遥领先于世界水平。
BMW 3系列更是荣获2006年度“世界年度车型”奖。
然而采用高科技电子控制技术提高汽车性能的同时也使汽车变得更加复杂，出现故障也使维修工作变得更加困难，需要更专业的维修技师借助先进的仪器来完成。
为此深圳元征科技股份有限公司推出X431,ADM等系列汽车故障诊断仪器设备，为汽车维修人员提供强力的帮助，深受用户喜爱。
本文即简要介绍X431中宝马诊断软件，尤其是特殊功能的使用说明。
首先简单介绍宝马汽车的诊断座位置、形状及底盘的识别标志位置。
1).宝马一般常见的诊断座有两种：20pin圆形诊断座和OBDII 16pin诊断座，前者一般位于发动机室，后者一般在驾驶室靠近转向柱附近仪表板上。
一般说来，较老的车型通常使用20pin圆形诊断座，较新的车型则通常使用16pin OBDII诊断座，还有部分车型既含有20pin 圆形诊断座和16pinOBDII诊断座。
进入X431宝马软件界面后，有诊断座位置说明选项，点击后可以查看诊断座位置和诊断座形状说明，如图1~图4。
图1. 图2.图3. 图4.2). 宝马的底盘通常分有: 1系列的E87，3系列的E30、E36、E46和E90，5系列的E28、E34、E39和E60/E61，6系列的E24和E63/E64，7系列的E23、E32、E38和E65/E66，8系列的E31，X系列的X3 (E83) 和X5 (E53) ，Z系列的Z1 (E30) 、Z3 (E36) 、Z4 (E85) 和Z8 (E52) ，以及MINI。
除了MINI容易识别外，其他底盘一般都标记在车头盖或后尾行李箱的支撑柱上，即打开车头盖或者后尾行李箱，分别有两根圆形小柱支撑着它们，在上面可以找到如5系列的“E39”等字样。
在使用X431诊断宝马汽车的过程中，绝大部分客户对于读故障码、清故障码、数据流，以及部分动作测试等功能的使用都已非常熟练，而且简单易懂。
x431的应用电路及工作原理1. 概述x431是一种常见的汽车故障诊断工具，广泛应用于汽车维修工作中。

处理后的信号会被发送到微处理器进行进一步计算。
2.3. 微处理器微处理器是x431的核心部件，负责控制整个系统的运行和数据处理。
微处理器会根据接收到的信号和存储的故障代码库进行比对，最终给出对车辆故障的诊断结果。
2.4. 通信模块x431的通信模块与车辆的OBD（On-Board Diagnostics）系统进行通信，以获取车辆的实时数据和故障代码。
通信模块使用标准的OBD协议进行通信，确保与不同品牌和型号的车辆兼容。
3. 工作原理x431的工作原理可以简单描述如下：1.用户连接x431与需要诊断的车辆之间的OBD接口。
2.x431通过通信模块向车辆发送请求，获取车辆的实时数据和故障代码。
3.传感器感知车辆各种参数，并将信号传递给x431的信号处理电路。
4.信号处理电路对传感器信号进行处理，然后发送给微处理器。
5.微处理器根据接收到的信号和存储的故障代码库进行比对，最终给出车辆故障的诊断结果。
6.x431将诊断结果显示在设备屏幕上，并提供详细的故障码解释和修复建议。
x431的工作原理借助了先进的电子技术和车辆数据分析算法，能够高效准确地诊断车辆故障，并给出相应的解决方案。
4. 总结x431是一种汽车故障诊断工具，其应用电路和工作原理基于传感器、信号处理电路、微处理器和通信模块等组成。
通过连接到车辆的OBD接口，x431能够获取车辆的实时数据和故障代码，并根据存储的故障代码库进行比对和诊断，最终给出解决方案。
X431数据记录功能介绍元征软件贺鹏麟X431的功能之强大在汽车维修领域是有目共睹的，其中最实用的有以下几条：1.测试车型最多（可测几乎所有国产车型和亚欧美各类型进口车）。
2.测试质量高（测试数据准确，精度高、速度快）。
3.测试范围广（奔驰可测项目多达148项）。
4.测试技术领先，率先推出CAN-BUS诊断接头（CAN BUS和VOLVO CAN-BUS诊断接头）。
5.升级速度快（天天发行新的诊断软件）。
6.具有数据流记录、保存、回放功能。
其中前面5条用户可能都比较熟悉，但第6条由于是元征公司后续开发的，很多用户都不熟悉甚至不会使用，而该功能在解决汽车间歇性故障中又非常适用，所以这里有必要对此功能的使用条件，操作方法和技巧等做一简要介绍。
要使用此功能，必须到 网站下载升级14.10或以上版本的显示程序。
进行数据记录前必须保证CF卡上有足够的剩余存储空间（一般情况下连续记录100条数据流1小时大约需要2M 空间）。
关于如何查看CF卡剩余空间，请参阅X431使用说明书。
使用操作方法：1）数据记录连接X431和汽车控制电脑正常通讯后，进入读取数据流功能界面，如图1，图1 图2 选中你所要查看/记录的有关数据流项，点击[确定]后，如图2所示，这时和正常的读取数据流的操作完全一样，如欲记录，则点击[记录]，说明：这里的[记录]，实际上相当于一级功能目录，即只有进入这个目录，才能对数据流进行保存，显示和清空操作。
出现如图3所示界面，共有三个功能选项，点击保存，则进入如图4所示界面，这时即开始对数据流进行记录，点击[停止]，则记录过程结束，并将这段期间记录的所选中的所有数据流数据自动的存到CF卡内。
说明：存储文件名字是自动进行命名的，不需要用户手动输入。
图3 图4 2）数据显示如要显示/查看以前记录的数据，必须要保证X431能够进入到读取数据流的功能界面，即只有在此功能下，才能进入曾经存储数据的目录并访问相关存储记录的文件。
