- Versatile CAN Identifier Support: Compatible with both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers. This broad compatibility ensures the Kvaser Leaf Light HS V2 OBDII can be used across a wide range of CAN bus systems and protocols commonly found in automotive and industrial applications.
- High-Speed CAN Connectivity: Compliant with the ISO 11898-2 standard, supporting CAN communication speeds up to 1 Mbit/s. This high-speed capability is essential for modern vehicle networks and applications requiring rapid data exchange.
- Enhanced Protection with Galvanic Isolation: Galvanic isolation is now standard in the Leaf Light V2, providing increased protection against power surges and electrical shocks. This feature safeguards your connected computer and the interface itself, enhancing safety and reliability during operation, especially in electrically noisy environments.
- Efficient Power Management: With a low current consumption of only 90 mA, the Kvaser Leaf Light HS V2 OBDII minimizes power drain from your laptop’s battery. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for mobile diagnostics and field applications where power conservation is important.
- Optimized Performance through Local Buffering: Local buffering and preprocessing within the interface contribute to high performance and reduce the processing load on your PC. By handling time-critical tasks internally, the Kvaser Leaf Light HS V2 OBDII allows for more efficient and responsive CAN bus interaction.
