USB-DLA Description
The purpose of a Data Link Adapter (DLA) is implied by its name: it is an adapter
that provides a link between two different data networks or protocols. The Parker
Vansco DLA provides the link between a PC and an automotive network.
Information from the engine and transmission is converted into a format that a
laptop can understand. The DLA transfers data from computer ports (USB) to
vehicle ports (J1939, J1708).
The Data Link Adapter is sold in kit form, with all of the necessary cables and
connectors included. This manual explains the contents of the kit, and how to set up
and use the DLA for USB communication.
