USB-CAN-FD User Guide

Software

Introduction

The USB-CAN-FD is an industrial-grade high-performance USB to CAN FD adapter, CAN/CAN-FD bus communication interface card, and CAN/CAN-FD protocol data analyzer. Onboard dual independent CAN FD interfaces with electrical isolation and multiple protection circuits. Supports Windows XP/7/8/10/11 system, comes with drivers, CAN FD Tools related software, secondary development examples, and tutorials.
It can be connected to the PC or industrial control host via a USB port to realize transceiver control, data analysis, collection and monitoring of CAN/CAN FD bus network. It is compact in size and easy to use, which can be used for learning and debugging of CAN/CAN FD bus, as well as for secondary development and integration into various industrial, power communication, and intelligent control applications that require CAN/CAN FD bus communication.

User Guide

If the communication is abnormal, place the two 120Ω terminal resistors of CAN1/CAN2 in ON.

Connect the USB port of the device to the USB port of the PC via the USB cable.
Run "USB-CAN-FD_TOOL.exe", the following is the description of common functions.

1. Device Management

The software "Device Management" -> "Device Operation" can open the device management interface. Here you can open the device, start and stop the channel, set parameters, and other related operations.

  • Click "Device Information" to view the current device hardware version information.


  • When starting the channel, the parameter setting interface is as follows, you can select the working mode, CANFD standard, arbitration baud rate, data baud rate, and so on.


  • The filter settings are shown below: Note that up to 64 filter groups can be set for standard frames and up to 32 filter groups can be set for extended frames.


Display Function

2.1 Save in Real Time
  • The default save format is csv, if you want to save as txt format, then directly enter the .txt suffix.


Pause Display
  • When receiving data, you can check "Pause display" for the convenience of viewing the data (at this time, the data is still being received, just not displayed in the current interface). Uncheck the box and the data will continue to be displayed.


Transmission Counts
  • At the bottom of the software, the total number of receipts and transmissions as well as the real-time frame rate of receipts and transmissions for the 2 channels are counted. Press the "Reset Count" button to clear the count.


Display Buffer
  • Display Buffer indicates the maximum number of frames that can be displayed in the current interface, the default value is 1000.


View the Data
  • When the data is too long (e.g. 64 bytes), the interface can not display a complete frame of data, put the mouse to the following position, when it becomes a two-way symbol, double-click, and you can expand all the data content, drag the horizontal scroll bar below to view the data.


Filter Functions
  • In the data display box, all the displayed items can be filtered. Filtering right-click to select the item to be filtered, and the filtering menu will pop up, click on "Filter" to pop up all the contents of the item that can be filtered; click on "Show All" to cancel the change of the filter conditions.


  • The filter options will list all different values, and you can check one or more.


  • Items that have been set up with filtering conditions will be prompted with a *, such as "ID" set up with filtering conditions, it will be displayed as "ID*".


  • All the filter conditions are "and" relationship. For example, to view "Data frame with ID 0x55 for channel 1", you need to set the filter conditions as follows: Channel -> Select 1, Receive/Transmit -> Select Rx, ID -> Select 0x55, Type -> Select Data Frame. As shown in the figure below:


  • If you want to clear all the set filters, click the "Delete all filters" button.
