LIN Serial Analyzer User’s Guide Rev2.0

There is a hard-wired, loopback bus path, so connection to a network is not needed for

testing the installation.

To start the software:

1. On the Windows operating system taskbar, click Start.

2. Click All Programs>Microchip Technology Inc.>

LIN Serial Analyser.

3. Click Setup>COM port

4. From the pull-down menu, select the USB port to be used.

5. In the menu’s text box, type the appropriate baud rate value.

6. Click OK.

7. Verify operation by selecting one of the preset messages from the Master

Message area.

Bus activity is indicated by the analyzer’s yellow BUSY light flickering.

A message will be displayed in the Bus Transaction window with:

•A time-stamp

• The correct ID parity bits

• The calculated checksum

• Any detected error conditions

Note: Only available, plugged in USB ports are displayed by the pull-down menu.

If the correct serial port is not displayed, verify that the USB hardware is

correctly installed.
