Multiplex
Engineering
is a technology company
specializing in the newest serial databus standards being used in the
automotive industry. We design and manufacture diagnostic interface
hardware needed to build OBDII scan tools.
Our
diagnostic interfaces, and
cables, allow a low cost, high performance, diagnostic product to be
developed that uses readily available personal computer devices
including desk top computers, lap top computers, hand held computers,
custom built computers, and even some digital personal assistants.
Our interfaces are available with an enclosure, RS-232 connector, and
J1962 OBD2 connector. They support J1850 VPW, J1850 PWM,
ISO-9141-2, ISO 14230 (KWP2000) and CAN.
We
do not sell any software to go with the interfaces. Any
interface that you buy directly from
Multiplex Engineering
will not work with any existing commercial software you purchase from
any source. It is necessary that you have, or write, your own.
Our Chief
Engineer, Paul Bowen, is a seasoned electrical design engineer with 20

Operations, June 1983 to September 1996.
