This development software is primarily used by automotive and electronic control unit suppliers to analyze the data traffic in serial bus systems.
The most relevant bus systems to CANalyzer are CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet and MOST,[3] as well as CAN-based protocols such as J1939,[4] CANopen,[5] and ARINC 825.
[8] CANalyzer offers bus monitoring, stimulation, and analysis functions for message traffic and data content.
CANalyzer displays and evaluates data in both raw and symbolic formats, providing a versatile measurement setup.
Back in 1992, Vector had already developed the DBC data format, which has become the de facto standard in the automotive industry for exchanging CAN descriptions.
