Device Overview

The IOSiX OBD-II/CAN Datalogger supports high-speed data acquisition from vehicle data buses.  The device is fully configurable as to what data is recorded and at what rates.  There is also a streaming mode for live vehicle communication (contact IOSiX for details).  A development API is also available, enabling customers to deploy custom code to the device firmware (contact IOSiX for details).  IOSiX can also supply custom firmware development for customers at reasonable rates.
