The 1600 baud rate is simply disgusting, and not of any use for any type of data logging. The ELM interface, that runs at 9600 baud, can only poll about 10 items per second, this pure serial interface which is about 5 times slower, would only be able to poll about 2 items per second.I thought modbus and controlnet were behind the times. This protocol goes beyond archaic.
