File man.txt of Package freediag

[DESCRIPTION]

This package contains 'core' software (called 'freediag') which
can be used to access your car's diagnostic system using a laptop
and a suitable interface cable.

scangui is the gui interface for freediag.
freediag's user interface is a somewhat primitive command-line
system - but it also has an application interface ("freediag AIF")
that lets more sophisticated programs use the freediag core whilst
presenting the user with a more appealing interface.

To run each application, you'll need an appropriate interface
to connect the serial port on a laptop computer to the
OBD-II port on your car.  With most available interfaces,
it would be inadvisable to use a computer powered from
wall socket because your car may not be adequately
grounded.
