August 25, 2010 - The analysis and diagnostic tools from IXXAT have been complemented by CBT2plus and CANobserver, enabling an even easier analysis and monitoring of CAN networks during development, manufacturing and service.The CBT2plus enables the fast and yet detailed analysis of the signal quality in CAN networks. Due to the various trigger modes and the integrated oscilloscope, the tools can easily analyze errors and thus detect their causes and quickly fix them. The CANobserver offers the comprehensive analysis functionality of CBT2plus in an enhanced version for long-term monitoring. The CANobserver allows the permanent monitoring of CAN-based networks.
If signal quality is impaired, the CANobserver can autonomously inform the operator via e-mail, SNMP or by setting a digital output, e.g. to switch a signal light. Maintenance can thus be carried out in good time before errors occur in the CAN network. In combination with the CANcorder, the data logger from IXXAT, even sporadic errors and their causes can be detected and fixed.
Thus, the IXXAT portfolio of test and diagnostic tools covers the full range from development to manufacturing and service: canAnalyser and CBT2plus in the development of CAN devices, CANcheck as CAN test equipment during commissioning of CAN systems and CANobserver for continuous monitoring of CAN networks.
