Measuring CAN Frame Runtime between two PCAN-USB FD devices.

[kundewayne]

On a Windows 10 machine, I'm using two PCAN-USB FD interfaces that are connected via external hardware. My goal is to determine how long it takes for a CAN frame to move from one device to another.

I tried PCAN-View, but the timestamps on the Trace tab appear to be independent of each instance. Is it possible to synchronize these timestamps with system time? Can I monitor both PCAN-USB ports from a single PCAN-View instance?

Any suggestions on how to precisely calculate frame transit time would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

Is it possible to synchronize these timestamps with system time? -> they are already based on system-time.

Can I monitor both PCAN-USB ports from a single PCAN-View instance? -> no.

Any suggestions on how to precisely calculate frame transit time would be highly appreciated. -> Maybe use PCANBasic and write a little application that does so?

Hi,

Furthermore, as i didn't mention it.

You could also use PCAN-Explorer 6 to trace 2 or more busses at the same time,
if you don't feel comfortable writing your own application.

We also issue a trial for PCAN-Explorer 6, if you are interested contact us! -> support[at]peak-system.com
