Important note: for a gapless stream in Toolbox your telemetry bandwidth cannot exceed 93%. Check your vehicle Setup in Toolset to verify your bandwidth being equal or less than 93%. If you need to decrease the bandwidth, you can do so by clicking on channel rates and either reduce channel rates of certain channels or decrease the quantity of channels in the telemetry stream.
