Re: Qt 5.8 with QtSerialBus released

Hi André,

Do you know if the latest version of Qt (6.6) supports the latest PCAN-Basic Api Driver (V4.8.2.897)? Or do I need an older version of either?

(I installed the drivers and PCAN-View works fine. But after adding/installing the "Qt Serial Bus 6.6.3" component, the example (https://doc.qt ...

Is Plotter Add-in needed for trc playback within Explorer?

I have a dbc file, and I'd like to design a simple Panel (leds , gauges, etc) in PCAN-Explorer , that can decode real-time can-bus traffic as well as playback previously captured .trc files. Is this functionality included in the base PCAN-Explorer product?

I couldn't find anything in the ...

Re: How to control TRC File Format

BTW, if I can't get these open source tools to play nice with the various trc, asc, log formats..

can I create a panel in PCAN-Explorer (gauges, leds), that open/replay any TRC file on that panel?

Re: How to control TRC File Format

I'm running into a very similar problem..

It seems the trc file captured using the Peak USB Can Adapter running PCAN-View 5.1.1.908 (which generates v1.1 trc files), is not compatible with the trc files expected by all the tools I've tried. For example, using karlding canlogconvert:

Re: PCAN-MicroMod Digital 1 -- EDS->DBC file

Thanks, so if I understand correctly..

Using PCAN explorer (or the standalone PCAN-Symbol Editor) I can manually define 'Symbols' how the canbus traffic is to be decoded and plotted real-time in PCAN explorer.
(PCAN explorer can also IMPORT an existing dbc , using the CANdb Import Add-in.. this ...

Re: PCAN-MicroMod Digital 1 -- EDS->DBC file

Thanks, I didn't realize there was even a 3rd file type.. DCF?! Do you have any suggestions on generating a DBC for other software that can only open DBC files?

I thought EDS is a generic device level format (ex. range of bitrates allowed in the family of devices), while DBC is just the specifics ...

PCAN-MicroMod Digital 1 -- EDS->DBC file

Hi,

I thought EDS and DBC files are usually provided by the manufacturer of the device, but I'm finding that is rarely the case.

Fortunately, I did find a generic EDS file for the PCAN MicroMod Digital 1 (attached extension renamed to txt), however I'm wondering how to convert that EDS to a ...

Where can I find PCAN-Basic API for XP (i.e. version < 4.0.3)

I understand the new API does not support Windows XP, but having trouble finding the Basic API that does. According to the version history seems it was released 7/1/2015?

If it's no longer available, is there *ANY* >=4.0.3 API functions that work with WinXP? For example, i.e. just getting the ...

Can PCAN-View acknowledge Can-Bus Messages?

I have a device that transmits Can-Bus data, yet PCAN-View doesn't show the data, only "BUSHEAVY".

With the oscilloscope I see continuous traffic on the bus, so not sure if it's a bit-rate mismatch, or if there needs to be a node that acknowledges otherwise it will continue to send it. The smallest ...

Re: Python Function to Continuously Transmit

I've updated the driver (9/1/2022) and downloaded the latest pcan-basic zip (7/6/2022), and I it seems to mostly work.. i think the only issue I'm seeing has to do with filters.

Is it possible to filter out all messages on the bus, EXCEPT for my ECHO'd message that was ACK'd by the receiver?

I'm ...
