There is a CAN message i would like to read. It only contains 3 bytes as follows: " x0150 ab cd ef" Could you help me with an example of how to add this to the CAN xml? I am also unable to view this in the CAN Monitor. Is there a setting i need to change? ---

First you have to get this data visible on CAN Monitor. What adapter you are using? Not all of them support \<8 CAN frame bytes. ---

I am using ScanTool OBDLink SX USB (red cable). Setting in garage is “Can Adapter → OBD Can” ---

Found it. There is a bug in OBD CAN parser that does not process any frames with less than 4 bytes. Will be fixed for next release. ---

I attempted to email you, but its in my outbox instead of sent (not sure what i am doing wrong). Email contained the following. No rush on this, i would love a test version. Do you know when the next windows version would be released, or when a test version will be ready? ---
