FIGURE 3-8: HARDWARE SETUP WINDOW
The HARDWARE SETUP window allows the user to setup the CAN BUS Analyzer for
communication on the CAN BUS. This feature also gives the user the ability to quickly
test the hardware on the CAN BUS Analyzer.
To set up the tool to communicate on the CAN BUS:
1. Select the CAN bitrate from the drop-down combo box.
2. Click the “Set” button. Confirm bitrate has changed by viewing the bitrate setting
on the bottom of the main CAN BUS Analyzer window.
3. If the CAN BUS needs the termination resistor active, then turn it ON by clicking
the “Turn On” button for the Bus Termination.
Test the CAN BUS analyzer hardware:
1. Ensure that the CAN BUS analyzer is connected. You can confirm this by viewing
the tool connection status on the status strip on the bottom of the main CAN BUS
Analyzer window.
2. To confirm that the communication is working between the USB PIC MCU and
the CAN PIC MCU, click on the “Help->About” main menu option to view the ver-
sion numbers of the firmware loaded into each PIC MCU.
