The EnDat story began in 1995 with the introduction of EnDat 2.1. This first EnDat version boasted the following features right from the get-go:

• Automatic system installation
  • Electronic ID label
  • OEM memory
  • Datum shift
• Alarms and warnings

The introduction of EnDat 2.2 in 2003 was marked by the transition to purely serial data transmission and a strong focus on continuity with the previous version. The communication, command sets, and timing conditions of EnDat 2.2 are therefore downward compatible with EnDat 2.1.
