But in the 'native' black mode, it's not too bad. Basic, but that's all you need, and it's not like we're locked into this software, it can be flashed when it improves. The latest code allows the selection of any CAN data (even mystery signals) to be displayed as a graph, so even without a computer logging all the CAN data, you can discover new data of interest to monitor.

Voltage appears to be monitoring correctly with a low of 167 and high of 273. First gen Prii would probably reach 350V during a good downhill charging. It stays higher than ~200V, but then again so do "12V" lead acid batteries.

3 MB XViD (MPEG4) .avi video clip of it: Right-click and save it.

CAN-View-action.avi

Use VLC Media Player to play it if you can't seem to view it in Quicktime or WiMP.
