No you can't. What you can do is to gather data over a
time period and create graphs out of it which can be
very, very useful.
It gives you access to a whole bunch of sensor data.
I guess you can go to www.obd-2.com and download a demo

The user interface sucks (legacy of the '70s) but the data you get is great.
If have a CEL and need the code only drive to autozone and
don't spend $ on a scanner.

FWIW I've been thinking of getting Alex Pepers unit, does that count as being on topic? The explanation of OBD-II is good stuff please carry on!

Worthless? I just stated that some OBDII scanners do that.
