- Simple generation of test protocols
- CAN monitor for transmission and reception of CAN messages (optional)
CAN-Bus-Tester
Typical faults during the operation of CAN bus systems, such as node failure, communication errors or complete system failure, are often caused by problems in the bus physics. Generally, devices which transmit messages with a low signal-to-noise ratio are highly susceptible to failures. The CAN-Bus-Tester provides an overview of the signal-to-noise ratios on the bus, enabling frequent causes of failures to be quickly identified and rectified. In addition, the most important logical analysis functions are also integrated into the Tester (otherwise found only in protocol analyzers). The Tester can be used for all bus systems with 11 or 29 bit identifiers according to 11898-2 and supports the CAN, CANopen and SAE J1939 protocols.
Automatic baud rate detection and the self-connecting BusScan allow the CAN-Bus-Tester to be quickly and easily connected to the system to be analyzed and started. The measurement results are automatically assigned to the relevant CAN identifiers or network nodes.
Depending on the test strategy, various methods of identifying faults can be used, such as a fast overview of the complete system, monitoring of an individual node or setting various trigger events (physical and/or logical faults and error-frames). When the trigger function is used, all faults are defined up to the individual bit position, are provided with a time stamp and displayed in the integrated oscilloscope. A trigger signal available via the external trigger output can be used to trigger an oscilloscope. A certain CAN message or an error telegram can thus be displayed selectively on the oscilloscope.
