Status Bar

The Status Bar runs along the bottom of the main window. It shows what the application is currently doing on the left, and a row of compact info chips decoded from the loaded snapshot on the right.

Quick Tip: The status bar is always visible, even when the Snapshot Data panel or other docks are hidden. It's the fastest way to confirm which file is loaded and which emission systems it contains without opening any panel.

Status Message

The left side of the status bar shows a short message describing the application's current state. It updates automatically as you work:

Message	When it appears
`Ready - Open a snapshot file to begin`	At startup, or after closing a snapshot.
`Loaded: <file> \| Type: <type> \| Hours: <hours>`	After a snapshot file is successfully loaded.
`Raw data loaded (identification failed)`	The file was read, but Snapshot Decoder could not identify its snapshot type.
`Saved My Chart '<name>'`	A custom PID selection was saved as a My Chart.
`Updated My Chart '<name>'`	An existing My Chart was overwritten with new settings.
`Error occurred`	A file failed to load or another error was encountered. Check the Log Console for details.

Message

When it appears

Ready - Open a snapshot file to begin

At startup, or after closing a snapshot.

Loaded: <file> | Type: <type> | Hours: <hours>

After a snapshot file is successfully loaded.

Raw data loaded (identification failed)

The file was read, but Snapshot Decoder could not identify its snapshot type.

Saved My Chart '<name>'

A custom PID selection was saved as a My Chart.

Updated My Chart '<name>'

An existing My Chart was overwritten with new settings.

Error occurred

A file failed to load or another error was encountered. Check the Log Console for details.

ECU Map Info

The blue chips are decoded from the snapshot's ECU Map Version string (for example DL02_LEL04_B11_UND51E). Snapshot Decoder parses the Bobcat map version format to surface the engine and machine configuration at a glance:

Chip	Description
Displacement	Engine displacement decoded from the base engine type – `1.8L`, `2.4L`, or `3.4L`.
Machine Subtype	The machine family the engine is calibrated for – `Loader`, `MX`, `Toolcat`, or `Versahandler`. If the subtype code isn't recognized, the raw code is shown instead.
HP Code	The 2-digit relative horsepower setting from the map version (`00` is the highest setting).

Chip

Description

Displacement

Engine displacement decoded from the base engine type – 1.8L, 2.4L, or 3.4L.

Machine Subtype

The machine family the engine is calibrated for – Loader, MX, Toolcat, or Versahandler. If the subtype code isn't recognized, the raw code is shown instead.

HP Code

The 2-digit relative horsepower setting from the map version (00 is the highest setting).

Note: These chips only appear when the ECU Map Version can be decoded. Snapshots without a recognizable map version string (or an unrecognized engine/displacement code) will not show the Map Info chips.

Snapshot Systems

The system indicator chips show which emission-related systems and subsystems were detected in the loaded snapshot.

System	Description
EGR	Exhaust Gas Recirculation – reduces NOx emissions by lowering combustion chamber temperature using recirculated exhaust.
DOC	Diesel Oxidation Catalyst – oxidizes CO and hydrocarbons in the exhaust.
DPF	Diesel Particulate Filter – traps soot particles from the exhaust stream.
SCR	Selective Catalytic Reduction – uses DEF to reduce NOx in the exhaust. If shown as SCR *, the system was inferred from inlet/outlet temperature sensors because the engine's horsepower could not be verified from the map file – hover the chip for details. This fall-back method is less accurate than normal detection.
Air Throttle	Intake air throttle valve installed in place of the EGR valve. Controls intake airflow to reduce combustion chamber temperature.
MDP	Minimum Drive Pulse – injector performance metric (V1 snapshots only). When present, the indicator also displays the calculated MDP success rate percentage. The color reflects health: green (≥ 76%), yellow (51–75%), or red (≤ 50%).

EGR

Exhaust Gas Recirculation – reduces NOx emissions by lowering combustion chamber temperature using recirculated exhaust.

DOC

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst – oxidizes CO and hydrocarbons in the exhaust.

DPF

SCR

Selective Catalytic Reduction – uses DEF to reduce NOx in the exhaust. If shown as SCR *, the system was inferred from inlet/outlet temperature sensors because the engine's horsepower could not be verified from the map file – hover the chip for details. This fall-back method is less accurate than normal detection.

Intake air throttle valve installed in place of the EGR valve. Controls intake airflow to reduce combustion chamber temperature.

MDP

Minimum Drive Pulse – injector performance metric (V1 snapshots only). When present, the indicator also displays the calculated MDP success rate percentage. The color reflects health: green (≥ 76%), yellow (51–75%), or red (≤ 50%).

Tip: The system indicators give you an instant overview of the engine’s emission configuration before you even look at a chart. If a system you expect to see is grayed out, the snapshot may not contain data for that subsystem, or it may be a different engine variant.
