The canAnalyser 3 Standard provides powerful features to simplify the analysis of CAN networks, including the ability to send interpreted signal data and work with the Data Interpreter Module (DIM). This eliminates the need to manually convert raw data, allowing you to visualize transmitted data in plain text or as graphical signals, improving the analysis of your devices and systems.
Key Features of Working with the DIM Editor and Signals:
1. Data Interpreter Module (DIM) Editor:
The DIM Editor allows you to define how raw CAN data is translated into human-readable values. This makes it easier to monitor and analyze messages, as the system automatically converts raw data into understandable formats.
2. Signal Module:
The signal module within canAnalyser 3 displays signals graphically or as interpreted text based on a user-defined database. This greatly simplifies the process of understanding and troubleshooting CAN networks, as you can view data in a meaningful way.
3. Adding More Values:
The canAnalyser 3 tool allows you to add additional signal values to your analysis setup, enabling you to monitor more variables and ensure a comprehensive view of the system being analyzed.
