Freeze frame

The set of values a controller saves at the moment a fault is detected — SOC, temperatures, current, the worst cell — attached to the trouble code. It is often the only record of the conditions that caused an intermittent fault.

Also called
snapshot data, extended data record

Example

Data, communication and electronics: an example situation

2500 in a log might mean 25.00 °C, 2.5 V or raw counts. Units and scale must accompany the value.

Read Freeze frame alongside Data logger in this context. A device on the vehicle or bench that records bus traffic and sensor data to BLF or MDF4 files, often with triggers and remote upload. For field failures it is the black box from which the sequence of events is rebuilt.
