NAME

       scantool - ODB-II vehicle diagnostic scanner

SYNOPSIS

       scantool

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the scantool program.

       scantool is a program that communicates with an ODB-II serial device that converts CAN-bus
       to  RS-232.  Since  the  application  was  originally  written  for  DOS,   the   internal
       configuration  refers  to  COM1,  COM2, etc.  As a work-around under Linux, selecting COM1
       will attempt to open /dev/ttyUSB0 then /dev/ttyS0, and COM2 will attempt /dev/ttyUSB1 then
       /dev/ttyS1,  etc.  When  connecting to a vehicle ODB-II system, the correct baud rate will
       need to be manually selected via trial-and-error.

OPTIONS

       There are no command line options; all settings are configured within the GUI.
