PCAN Explorer 5 question

Post by marcus0419 » Mon 25. Feb 2019, 05:24

Hi Sir:
I have few questions about PCAN Explorer 5, please help me.

1. What is the resolution of PCAN Explorer 5 ?
What I mean is that I use PCAN Explorer 5 to monitor CAN packages and there are several packages on CAN bus.
The interval of some CAN packages is 1 ms, does PCAN Explorer 5 can handle these message?

2.I found out that, the data will linear scale after zoom out, could I disable this function to see real data?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Marcus

Hi,

here the answers to your questions:

1. PCAN-Explorer 5 offers a resolution of 100µs for receive messages and 1ms for transmit messages.

2. Sorry, but we don´t understand this. Please explain more detailed where you found that issue in PCAN-Explorer.

Hi Sir:

I really appreciate your reply, thanks!

About my question below, I will describe more detail.

I found out that, the data will linear scale after zoom out, could I disable this function to see real data?

I transmit my data every 1ms, after I stop logging data using plotter, I try to zoom in the picture.

In my logging data, some varibles are unsigned and some are signed, none of them is flaot.

However, when I zoom in several times, I founcd out taht, I saw float value on several channel.

Is it possible, could I limit the maximum scale ratio to 1ms?

You can see attached file "Plotter.JPG", the data type of SpDt_uwPWMAngleErr is unsigned and the maximum I set is 65535, however you can see the value 34.2 in the picture.

What I mean is that no matter how I zoom in, I should always see the interger and no float.

I have another question is that in attached file PCAN_Explorer.jpg, the value of "INV Relay Close Enable" is always 1, but I stop logging, press "Reset" button and start logging, the CAN package does not transmit at this moment.

However, I still see the value of "INV Relay Close Enable" is always 1, but it should be 0 since the CAN package does not transmit at this moment, could you tell me how to fix that?

Best regards,

Marcus
