The canAnalyser 3 Standard provides various function modules to enhance your analysis capabilities for CAN networks. These modules simplify the development, testing, and maintenance of CAN systems by offering features for transmitting, receiving, sequencing, and tracing messages, as well as replaying recorded data. For higher-layer protocols like CANopen and SAE J1939, the software automatically interprets messages, making it easier to follow protocol-specific communication.
Key Modules of canAnalyser 3:
1. Transmit Module:
This module allows you to send messages over the CAN network. You can configure it to send single messages or cyclic transmissions based on your requirements.
2. Receive Window:
The receive window displays incoming messages from the CAN network in real time. You can monitor, analyze, and review the communication happening on the bus.
3. Message Filtering:
You can set filters to limit the types of messages shown in the receive window, making it easier to focus on specific message types or IDs that are relevant to your analysis.
4. Sequencer Module:
This module lets you set up predefined message sequences that can be automatically transmitted at specified intervals, which is useful for automated testing or simulations.
5. Trace Module:
The trace module records all communication on the CAN bus, enabling you to analyze data after it has been captured. You can replay recorded data to recreate scenarios and troubleshoot issues.
6. Higher Layer Protocol Interpretation:
Modules for CANopen and SAE J1939 provide higher-layer protocol interpretation. This means that received messages are decoded and displayed according to the protocol specification, simplifying the analysis of complex communication.
