.SH NAME
scantool \- ODB-II vehicle diagnostic scanner
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B scantool
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B scantool
program.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBscantool\fP 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.
.SH OPTIONS
There are no command line options; all settings are configured within
the GUI.
