Description

The PCAN-Explorer 4 is a Windows-based universal monitor for control of the data stream on a CAN network. The PCAN-Explorer shows the data traffic in a CAN network quickly and clearly. With the software it is possible to create your own identifiers for easy and clear messages assignment, as well as to create macros and to record and save data traffic over the network, so that the processes can be displayed and analyzed at a later time.

Optional upgrades expand the functionality of the PCAN-Explorer 4 - PCAN-Plotter, CANdb-Import and PCAN-UserPanel. The PCAN-Plotter is a continuous line recorder enables graphical representation of CAN data with any desired number of channels. The CANdb-Import enables reading of CAN files, useful to anyone who does not want to rewrite their entire data base in Sym-Format by hand. The PCAN-UserPanel enables graphical representation of information in the form of analog and digital display instruments. The integrated potentiometers, switches and sliding controls enable generation of signals on the bus as well.

The PCAN-Explorer runs under Windows® Vista/XP (32 bit) and supports all PC-CAN interfaces made by PEAK.
