OBD-2/EOBD multi-protocol interface 'ELMScan 5' is the latest PC-based scan tool from ScanTool.net. Not only the interface is contained, but also industrially manufactured cable (USB to the computer and OBD-2/EOBD to the vehicle).

The microcontroller "ELM327 v1.3" from ELM Electronics is the newest addition to the OBD family, providing CAN (ISO 15765-4) support, as well as SAE J1850 PWM, SAE J1850 VPW, ISO 9141-2 and ISO 14230-4. ELM Electronics actually taken the best of the ELM320, the ELM322, and the ELM323, improved on them and then added four CAN protocols.

Just as with the other ICs, the Microcontroller "ELM327" transparently converts OBDII data into standard ASCII characters, allowing trouble codes and operating parameters to be easily retrieved without the need for special software. No knowledge of data formatting, error checking, bus initiation etc. is needed either, as the "ELM327 v1.3" from ELM Electronics handles all of it for you. You don't even need to know what protocol your car 'speaks', as this IC automatically detects that for you, too. In addition to the protocols, we think that you will also enjoy some of the enhancements. For example, the RS232 interface has been completely updated. It is now a background task so it doesn't interfere with OBD receives, it has a large data buffer to allow for fluctuations in the OBD data, and it offers a second baud rate (500.000).

There are many other features (like a battery monitoring input) that you will only learn about if you download either the (6 pages) ' Quick-Sheet ' or the full (59 pages) ' Data-Sheet '.
