Page 14
● Measurement Data Select the saving folder and file size of measured data. [A folder to save the monitor data] This folder is for saving the measured data. To change the settings, click “Change” button. Then the window to select a folder will be appeared.
Page 15
■ Analyzer Settings Click “ ” on the tool bar of the data window (or click “Measurement” -> “Measurement setting”) to set the target bus, speed and so on. On the measurement setting window, every time you change the setting on the left side of the window, the contents of the setting (on the right side of the window) will be changed.
● Logger Setting [Data Save] Set the file size and number of files to save for a Data Logger Mode. [Auto RUN/STOP] Set the starting time and ending time of the auto-measurement. Chapter 4 Interface Setup Select a port for monitoring. ■...
Chapter 5 Monitor Function The purpose of the monitor function is to record communication data into files without affecting the communication lines. The results will be displayed as CAN/LIN frames. Not only communication data but also time stamp and ex- ternal signals are recorded.
Page 18
● ID Filter Select the ID filter from “OFF”(invalid), “Acceptance”, “Pass”, “Cut”, “Pass & Cut”, or “Acceptance & Pass & Cut”. ・ Acceptance Captures the frames which have corresponding ID by a hardware filter. You can set bit-by-bit ( “0” , “1” , “*” , (Don’ t care)) from high-order bit by acceptance configuration tab.
Page 19
・ Cut NOT capture the frames which have corresponding ID by a software filter. Select standard format of extended format at the cut configuration tab and set the ID by HEX (“0” - “F”, “*”, (Don’t care)). (You can set up to 8 items) Configure values within the scope of ID:0 –...
● Frame End Select the frame end from “Time” (non-communication time exceeds the value set in “Frame End Time”) or “ID” (value of DLC field). Select “ID” for normal operation. If selecting “ID”, select DLC and method of calculating checksum for each ID. ●...
Page 21
■ Stop Measuring Click “ ” on the tool bar of data window (or click “Measurement” -> “Stop measurement”). It is able to scroll data after the measurement in the Data Monitor display. Data will be saved into the specified folder set in the configuration settings.
Page 22
● Data Window Display Meaning Time Displays the time when the frame is received. (time stamp) Displays the difference of time stamps compared to the previous time stamp. deltaT (refer to “5.4 Difference of Time Stamp”) Displays the channel received. (1: CH1, 2: CH2) Break Displays the number of bit for Sync Break width for LIN.
5.3 Watch Data Display It is able to display only specific ID frames while measuring. Only the latest data will be displayed and update it every one second. ■ Setting of Watch Data Display Click “ ” on the tool bar of the data window (or “tool” -> “Watch Data settings”). Set the target channels and ID.
5.4 Difference of Time Stamp <Standard Time Stamp> <Difference of Time Stamp> There are two kinds of time stamp. One is the arrival time of frame. And, the other is the elapsed time from the previous frame. From top menu, go to “Tool” -> “Deference Timestamp”. 5.5 Timer/Counter It is able to check the timer/counter satisfied by the trigger conditions.
5.6 Analog Waveform Display Display the analog waveform at the specified sampling cycle. ■ Analog mode setting Select “ANALOG” (Analog mode) at Function, then select sampling cycle (min.1ms, max.10min). * When selecting Analog mode, time stamp resolution can be selected from [Hr:Min:Sec] or [Min:Sec:x1ms]. Refer to “3.2 Configuration of Analysis Software ■...
Chapter 6 Useful Functions 6.1 Trigger Function Trigger function is to start a specific action upon occurrence of a specific event as the trigger. A perplexing flow of data, which is not easy to be analyzed in the normal monitor operation, is analyzed on the basis of occurrence of the specific event.
Page 27
<Example of ID setting> ID28-24 : - - - 0 0 0 0 0 CAN expansion format it “ID00000023”. ID23-16 : 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ID16-8 : 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ID7-0 : 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 CAN standard format is “ID023”.
