6 Kickstart Modules

Inverting your filter

Starting your filter with the keyword

exclude will hide anything that matches the filter condition, e.g.

exclude id = 581h, index=606c, index=6041

– show only SDO traffic for object 606c and 6041 for CANopen node 1

Comments

Use a # to add additional free text comments about your filter, e.g.

id != 81-ff # hide emergency msg

Auto Filter

Pressing

Auto Filter will add a filter condition to suppress the CAN frame type with the most frequent appearance. Repeated use of Auto

Filter is a convenient way to get an almost steady display where only rare CAN frames (e.g. control PDOs or emergencies) are shown.

Recording Monitored Frames

Use the

Record button to start recording CAN frames to a text file. By default, the traced file will be stored in the projects’ folder with the

date-time stamp of the beginning of recording. Make sure you save the project to have the recorded file accessible in the future.

To load a recorded file, use the

Open button – this will load all CAN frames from the recorded file into the CAN monitor. Optionally, use

Delete All to clear the monitor before opening the file.

NOTICe

Filtering only affects the screen display, not the actual CAN frame buffer or trace file recordings. After deactivating
Find / Filter, the full CAN traffic is shown again.

NOTICe

The CAN Monitor display will only hold a limited amount of CAN frames in memory. Please use the

Record function to

record an unlimited amount of CAN frames to a standard text file (

.txt). You can re-open a CAN trace file using any textual

editor, or by using the

Open button. This will load all frames into the monitor.

6.1.2 CAN Sender

The

CAN Sender module can be used for simple CAN testing applications which require sending one or several fixed CAN frames.

It is not a full scripting engine but a simple macro sequence for quick and easy testing.

Available commands:

send ,,

delay

wait ,,[,]

and data size can be provided as hex expressions:

send 0x7e5,2,04 01

send 7e5h,0x2,04 01

wait

supports string wildcards * and ? for the parts. An additional timeout can be specified.
