Can One Review Prior Codes Read WITHOUT Car/DiCE Connected

[packetfire]

I cannot seem to pull up any of the codes from any prior session with the DiCE unplugged.
Does anyone know if connecting the DiCE (with external power applied from a 12-volt supply) will allow me to review codes and the repair solutions away from the car?

I ask because the VIDA program gives one the option of re-reading all modules, and thus deleting prior readings, so I assume that the prior readings are stored.... somewhere. I only have a printer at home, and I'd rather not drag the printer to the storage bay where I work on my car, and do other "shop" work.

From what I can see codes from prior readings of rhe car are not accessible without the DiCE, and the DiCE needs power to run.

I'm not entirely sure, but here's what i usually do.

http://www.cutepdf.com/

download and install that, you'll now have a PDF "Printer"

open up the code report from vida, "print" it to cutePDF, save file to your PC.

now you are free to open it up and print it when you get back to the printer, or email, or send it anywhere you'd like.

I do it because I run VIDA in a virtual machine, and I don't like installing printers in my virtual machines. So the PDF lets me "print" out of VIDA into a shared machine folder on my host, then I can do as I please.
