This protocol by specification is 10,400 baud. It has a checkbox that is supposed to “Automatically increase the baud rate” auto populated as well.Īll of our testing is conducted on the same vehicle with a 9141-2 protocol. This makes it easier on the user that is not familiar with how to set up communications. The connection interface auto populates the com port and hardware speed settings. The software interface is very well organized and easy to navigate. A purchase of Touchscan without the professional module is a waste of money. It has a nice feature that allows the combining of two parameters to have a unique one that may be easier on the user such as combining Long Term and Short Term Fuel Trim parameters.

A licensed copy of the Touchscan software is required prior to purchasing this add on functions module. The Professional module adds functions you expect in an automotive diagnostic software platform. It can be purchased and operate on those supported scan tools that are not partnered with OBD Software. Touchscan is the twin of OBD Wiz according to the company support. It is unknown if it is full function or crippled in this distribution. OBD Wiz is the version distributed with some scan tools as a free program upon tool purchase. The functions package is referred to as the Professional module.

The two software programs are Touchscan and OBD Wiz. The company has two automotive diagnostic software programs and 1 add on functions package. Questions are answered very thoroughly and rather quickly by email. The company provides excellent and very courteous support. This software platform offers a two week free trial prior to purchase.
