Possibility to display differential CAN-voltages?

I just got the PCAN-MiniDiag FD. It seems like a very neat and and convenient instrument for a quick diagnosis of the bus :)
There is one setting/mode I am not able to find: In the "CAN Voltages" screen, I would like to choose whether to display voltages as absolute levels (as standard now) or as differential voltages between CAN H & L, preferably together with the common mode voltage level (mean of H & L). Side by side for "Dom" and "Rec".
Could this be added to the configuration options for this screen in a future FW?

BTW: Is it possible to update the firmware in this device? Is it done via the CAN I/F?

At the moment you find in this menu the CAN-H and CAN-L Dominant and Recessive Levels.
But i thing it is a good idea to add the Differntial Voltage as Option, or maybe as a new Menue entry.
Many thanks for the feedback - i will add a ticket so that we check how to implement in one of the next versions.

Yes, yo could update the Firmware via CAN with our CAN2Flash Tool (it´s for free) but this need a PEAK-System CAN PC Interface (USB/PCI/PCIe/ExpressCard etc.)
