CAN Bus Data Visualization with CAN Explorer
Use the CAN Explorer app in Vehicle Network Toolbox™ to visualize classic CAN protocol data and use CAN FD Explorer app to visualize CAN FD data. When the app is launched, choose your physical or virtual device and use the Configure pane to bind a CAN database (.dbc) file to the app. This file is used to decode messages and their associated signals. Configure the app to visualize the signals you want by adding selected signals to the three scopes that are provided. You can add multiple signals to each scope. Press the Start button to bring the app online. The app will start to decode and display network traffic. View the Messages table to see the raw messages and the Signals table to see the signals and their decoded values. Observe the Signal scopes to see a time domain view of how the signals are changing. Press the Pause, Continue, and Stop buttons to control when you are acquiring the data. Configure the Unique Messages and Delta Time settings to show only specific messages and to see the cycle time for the signals you are observing. Use the Export button to export the decoded data recorded by the app into a MATLAB® timetable for further analysis.
