Some modules require engine running, others not. All in the manuals.

I seem to recall reading something when Saint was looking to borrow a kit.
The Veyron? Nice. When's the delivery date?

Obviously you can take live readings driving around. As you say connecting things up with the unit on or causing huge spike by engaging starter be careful, perhaps it’s different with a V8 they don’t need the full 1000ccas
Pretty sure i do this too, but also pretty sure you can plug in after the engine is stated too.
What you can't do is talk to the abs once the yellow light has gone out >5mph
Plug it in when you like but some modules only work with the key in a certain position.
Plug it in, turn it on, ignition on and start the car if needed.
Finish diag, shut down nano and stop engine.
Just don't plug it in or unplug while the engine is running.

Just as a safety precaution for the nano and any ecu in the car. It's the same practice with the autel mx808 I have
