How to use the 'Repeat On/Off' button of OBD Amigos

The 'Repeat On/Off' button will enable or disable automatic retrieval of data from your e-up! / CITIGOe iV / Mii electric at fixed intervals and after each retrieval save a screenshot of the retrieved data. This functionality is available for the 'AC Charge', 'DC Charge' and 'Driving' pages.

Enable automatic retrieval of data:

Press the 'Repeat On/Off' button. The button will turn red and remain pressed:
Then press either 'Get AC Data' or 'Get DC Data' or 'Get Drv Data'.
At this point OBD Amigos will switch to the 'AC Charge' or 'DC Charge' or 'Driving' page (depending on the button you pressed) and start retrieving data automatically at a fixed interval (AC Charge: 5 minutes, DC Charge: 15 seconds, Driving: 3 seconds).

Disable automatic retrieval of data (for 'AC Charge' or 'DC Charge'):

Press the 'Repeat On/Off' button. The button will turn grey and return in the unpressed position:

Disable automatic retrieval of data (for 'Driving'):

Since the retrieval interval in 'Driving' is only 3 seconds there is no opportunity to press the 'Repeat On/Off' button. Therefore to disable the automatic retrieval of data you have to put the gear selector of your car in 'P' (parking position).

Customising the repeat interval times:

You can customise the repeat interval times in the obd_amigos.ini configuration file. Change the AC_repeat, DC_repeat, DRV_repeat values (in milliseconds) to suit your needs.
