Yep, you could (and most of the aftermarket software packages
available have graphing abilities), but unfortunately its not quite that
simple due to the protocols used. I did some research on it because I
was planning on building a code reader, but I ended up dropping the idea
due to getting a headache reading up on all the differnet protocols,
subprotocols, etc. It would probably have made more sense if I had
purchased the official ISO manuals describing the standards, but I
didn't want to spend a bazillion dollars for something that I wasn't
even sure I wanted to do. :-)
