PEAK-System launched the PCAN-OBDonUDS API, a new programming interface for the high-layer OBDonUDS (SAE J1979-2) protocol. The API is designed to offer OBDonUDS services for Windows application development, using the underlying PCAN-Basic and PCAN-UDS APIs to communicate diagnostic data over the CAN bus.

As an evolution of OBD-2, OBDonUDS is built on the UDS standard (ISO 14229-1), enabling more sophisticated vehicle diagnostics and monitoring compared to the older OBD-2 system.

PEAK-System provides the PCAN-OBDonUDS API for free, much like its other protocol interfaces such as ISO-TP, UDS, and RP1210. Software developed using this API can be utilized with all PEAK-System CAN interfaces.
