Protocol Support
Supporting the most popular protocols is critical for any network analysis tool.
The CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol was originally developed for the automotive industry and is now that industry's standard for communication between the main in-vehicle control units such as powertrain and body control electronics. Many more industries are using CAN such as truck, off-highway, train, automation, medical and embedded systems. Each industry has developed its own version of CAN to adapt it to its specific needs.
A more recent protocol call LIN (or Local Interconnect Network) is now being used in more and more applications that lower bandwidth and speed requirements. LIN is attractive for less sophisticated applications because of its lower cost.
With so many applications of CAN and the recent addition of LIN, ATI has ensured that its product is compatible with the most popular CAN protocols including J1939 and LIN. CANLab also includes a CCP interpreter. There is no need to parse the CAN ID and datafield. CANLab decodes the data into usable information in engineering units. No extra step is required.
