	* Control modules using the newest UDS/ODX protocol require a special .ROD file for VCDS to interpret data and they do not support traditional Measuring Blocks or Adaptation channel numbers. Since no data is readable without a .ROD file, there is no way for VCDS to interrogate all possible Measuring Blocks or Adaptation Values if those aren't already documented. In other words, the Controller Channels Map function does not work with control modules using the UDS/ODX protocol. If you run a Debug Level: 2 as described below, any control modules using UDS will be skipped and PLA/PLB files will not be retrieved.		* Control modules using the newest UDS/ODX protocol require a special .ROD file for VCDS to interpret data and they do not support traditional Measuring Blocks or Adaptation channel numbers.

Current interfaces are able to create channel maps of Adaptation and Advanced Measuring Values, again only if an appropriate ROD file is present.
