    The electrical behavior of the low-speed and the high-speed CAN is different, hence, the low-speed CAN port of the blue PiraT Mini should not be connected to a high-speed CAN bus and vice versa. Both operating modes use differential signals (CANH, CANL). For the correct data recording, all nodes of the bus must have a common reference potential.

  • Page 34: Sending Can Messages

    11.1.4. Sending CAN messages If the blue PiraT Mini sends a CAN message, it is shown twice in the traces. The first message indicates the transmit request of the data logger and the second message indicates the actual transmission of the message.
