PCAN-OBD-2 Viewer

The OBD-2 standard defines the exchange of specific vehicle parameters for on-board diagnostics. As part of OBD-2, the ISO 15765-4 standard describes the CAN bus as a transmission option.

With the Windows software PCAN-OBD-2 Viewer OBD-2 data can be read out from connected control units (ECUs) via the CAN bus for presentation and further processing.

The application was implemented based on the programming interface PCAN-OBD-2 API by PEAK-System and is available free of charge for users of PEAK CAN adapters.
