ScanXL is an advanced diagnostic software package for use exclusively with the ElmScan 5 series of OBD-II compliant scan tools. This feature-packed software will meet the needs of the professional mechanic and automotive enthusiast alike. ScanXL goes beyond reading trouble codes and sensor data to bring you these exciting features:

• Use ScanXL's built-in Dyno and Drag Strip to measure horsepower (manual transmission only) and acceleration.

• Colorful and customizable Graphs and Gauges give you graphical view of sensor data.

• With Freeze Frames you will be able to retrieve a "snap-shot" of sensor data when your ECU stores trouble codes.

• Don't wait until you have a problem with your vehicle. Use ScanXL's Data Logger to record healthy engine parameters and use that data to help spot problems in the future.

• Set ScanXL's Alert feature to let you know when your engine coolant (and other parameters) is getting too hot before it's too late!

• After clearing trouble codes, check Monitor Status to see if your vehicle is ready for emissions testing.
