Time for an update.... we've had a bunch of feedback from our beta-testers (thanks guys). We have some changes to make based on that feedback, which we're getting through as quickly as I can. Once those changes are done, we'll send a release candidate out to the beta-testers for a final round of feedback and then we should be done.

We don't provide a direct USB connection, although it is possible via a USB-Serial adaptor.
USB only means the CANScanUSB wont work with a PDA that is RS232 based. We will have S/W for PDA in the future.
Other than that, I think the real answer is sCANalyser has provides more than the CANScan.
We have a faster update rate for a start, and a much nicer user interface (sCANalyser has already been used on a NAV screen to display gauges).
The "PassThrough" does not appear to be really available yet for CANScan according to the info on the site. We have not promised that with this version.
I believe (subject to confirmation) that CANScan can't read the VIN number or the CalID, whereas sCANalyser CAN.
The other thing sCANalyser offers which I don't believe CANScan offers is the ability to set triggers for starting and stopping logging based on sensor inputs. I.e. Start logging when RPM > 1500 and then stop logging when Throttle Position is < 80%.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Here I'll post some pics of Hymee's sCANalyser on my NAV to wet your appetite. Sorry about the poor quality pics...no tripod + night + ancient laptop = this. Let me again stress this is beta and the final product may appear differently. Also there are lots of options for customization of the program...I haven't had much time to change things up yet but I look forward to doing so.
I was lazy and only changed the background color of the program once so sorry for the lack variety...next time I'll have the carbon fiber background or a dark grey would be nice.

Will there be a fullscreen option in the future? the white borders make it look incomplete and take up a lot of space.
Speaking of the future, I forgot if this was mentioned but would it difficult to implement an air/fuel graph?
other than the prototype-look of it, looks great!

TM suggested full screen. I never thought he would be trying the Beta out on a NAV screen, so this option was never on the radar to start with. Me and sco have to discuss that, but it does seem like a valid request to me.
You get a AFR gauge via the Wideband O2 sensor. It can display Air:Fuel ratio (if you know the stoich value for the fuel you are using), or the more "direct" lambda value which is what I prefer. This data can be logged, and therefore graphed for later analysis.
Cheers,
Hymee.

truemagellan - it looks like the aspect ratio is a bit screwed on the NAV screen - you could try setting the resolution to a widescreen resolution to fix the aspect ratio. If you don't have any standard ones with your video card, you can download "Powerstrip" to set one up.

Hello Hymme, here it is 
revived through the back button :p
Hymee can answer this much better than I but i'll try:
1. if I would have changed the program setup in windows it could have been full screen...but at the same time a full screen in program control has been requested. That doesn't mean it will be in the software release (since it isn't up to me).
2. through the logging function you can log air/fuel and any other output info offered through the CAN interface...it outputs to excel if I remember correctly...and from there you can graph all you like.

I'll post updated pics once I play around with it some more.

No worries, was just trying to help
I have the other extreme... the garage gets too hot to tinker... so I use remote desktop to a machine in the garage and sit in my nice air conditioned office

Do you think the size ratio (wide:height) is a touch out besides the white boarder being a non-full screen display.
It may be the angle of the shot taken, but I thought the circle of the gauges is a bit oval in shape

That makes me wanted to strip my old laptop (500mHz Pentium III) and put a screen up for the sCANalyser....
But I think I need a screen, a pod to hold it and a handyman!

I also have an external scan line converter which works much better than the video out on any computer...I'll see how well this works...best part is it runs off DC already :D

Is it hard to make one?
MM has made a thread about it but I still don't understand what is going to be involved.
Is most DVD player has a input for a computer's video out?
I have an old Pentium III notebook gathering dust... what do I need besides reformmating the hard drive (at least deleting everything for just the scanner).
What else do I need?
A screen? What screen? Can a DVD player do (as I can do a set up like 8a8y 8).
How to hide the wire from CAN scanner? At the moment it is quite annoying for the driver and the wire may get in the way.

It's not really a question of what the product can support, more one of what PIDs the RX-8 PCM supports. I'll grab a list of the supported PIDs next time I run some tests and post it.
