Sorting out CAN messages which are out of timeline.

Post by rchaluva » Tue 18. Jun 2013, 11:37

Hi,
I am using PCAN-Explorer-5. I wanted to list the messages which are receiving out of there timeline.
For Ex: Message_A has defined to receive every 50ms but some times i receive in 40ms/34ms and so on.
I wanted to evaluate these messages time lines.

I have tried with timeout option but it's not working as i desired. Do i need to write a macro for this? or do i get any straight solution for this in the software itself?

Please help..

Thanks,
Raju

Hi,

best solution will be to use a VBmacro to check the timings of your messages.

Hi

you can use the timeout functionality in the symbole file or a VBmacro, or you trace the CAN data, export it to csv (Excel) and use Excel to check for the timings.

I tried Excel sheet, it's time consuming process to check every time.

I have used timeout functionality in Symbol file and got below problem.
I had given timeout time as 2001ms for the message which has to receive every 2000ms. but it displays all the messages in timeout window.
Could you please give a tips on using Timeout please.
You can find attachment for more details.


Thanks,
Raju
