Page 13: Start-Up
The connection to the PC or notebook is provided using a USB cable. During operation, the "BUS STATUS" LED indicates whether there is data traffic on the CAN bus. The colors correspond to those of the bus status LED in the application software (see Section 4.4.3.1 : "Bus status"). Document: 22510-HB-1-11-E-CAN-Bus Tester 2... -

Page 15: Functions And Measuring Principle
During the arbitration phase (start bit + ID + RTR), as well as during the acknowledge phase, there is no evaluation of the physical properties of the message frame, as several bus stations could be driving the signal during these phases. Document: 22510-HB-1-11-E-CAN-Bus Tester 2 Figure 2: Definition of disturbance-free voltage range, peak-to-peak voltage and signal level... -
Page 16: Enhanced Measurement Of The Disturbance-Free Voltage Range
By using the existing process to measure the disturbance-free voltage range, sometimes drops in recessive bits could not be identified securely. Thus, the CANtouch firmware version v1.80 and the CAN-Bus Tester 2 PC software v4.4.0.0 and newer versions of them offer an enhanced measurement process by default. The manufacturer highly recommends to use this enhanced process for new measurements. -

3.3.3 Error frames Error frames belong to the error management functionality implemented in the data link layer in all CAN con- trollers. They permit detection of the following error types: Document: 22510-HB-1-11-E-CAN-Bus Tester 2... - Page 18 CAN bus segments via the CBT2 application software. If this is not the case, the frame detection will not function correctly. Subsequently, data traffic of any kind on the bus may lead to incrementing of the error frame counter.
