Data Sheet

Next, you need to scan the opened port for any devices attached to it. In

this example, we’re looking for a single device called ‘Evo board’.

Scanning the bus is performed by clicking button placed

below the big ‘Connect/Disconnect’ button.

Note that a single port can have multiple devices attached to it when

using CAN bus converter provided by SYD Dynamics, otherwise only

one device can be attached.

Once the scan is started you should see the ‘Scan’ button changing to

‘Stop’, and a blue loading bar right under it.

Shortly after, your device should be visible in the list.

Opening the Device

To run the actual sensor and get data out, select the sensor you

wish to open from the list and either double-click it with your left

mouse button or press ‘Open’ button above the list (Figure 7, red

square). This action loads data-manipulation portion of the user

interface in empty space on the right side of the window.

If ‘Boot mode’ is set to ‘Static Mode’ or ‘Auto Mode’,

it is recommended to open the device after its

initialization, i.e. at least 15 seconds after its power on,

as the module may ignore the command from GUI

during its initialization process.

GUI Explanation

Once the device is opened, the data-manipulation portion of the user interface is visible. Shown in Figure 8 (section 1), which

is a part of GUI that allows you to fully customize the data path inside your TransducerM.

(Depending on the TransducerM model number and firmware version, you will see the panel configuration slight differently.)
