PCAN-View 8.0.2.838 Listen Only

Post by Fakier » Thu 25. Aug 2022, 12:45

Hello,
I have a problem using PCAN-View 8.0.2.838,
when I connect to CAN (for example 125k) and set Listen-only mode,
then when I want to disable Listen-only mode I open the Connect window,
and when I go to Options 'tab' if I disable Listen-only mode and press OK,
my device is connecting at 500k speed in 'normal mode' and I have Bus heavy error on my CAN bus,

If it is possible please make it to remember my last can speed selection,
and if it is possible please change the location of Listen-only mode selection to CAN Setup tab,
as it was in previous PCAN-View versions (Windows 7 compatible),
it will speed up our work, because now to change can speed and turn on/off listen only mode we need to change settings on two tabs.

Best regards
Lukas

Hi,
we can reproduce this bug in version 5.0.2.838 and we will fix it in one of the next releases.
In the meantime, here is how you can bypass the bug:
1. In the Connect dialog, select one of the CAN FD modes, e.g. ISO CAN FD.
2. In the 'Bit Rate Presets' dropdown-list, select 'None'.
3. Select the 'CAN' mode again and connect with the 125k bit rate.
4. The next time you open the Connect dialog, the 125k bit rate is still preselected.

I'm sorry, but we do not plan to change the location of the Listen-only checkbox. If the previous version of PCAN-View was more suited to your workflow, you can still use the old version.
