I just said, “Well, I’m going to write a t-program to demonstrate that a Memorator can be used for an ECU simulator.” What kind of data I want to send, well, I just pulled something out of the air and said, “I’ll just make a sine wave and I’ll just make a 100 sine wave and send that data via floating-point signal.” So I got a package that’s floating-point signal in a CAN frame. I’ve actually got a t-program I can demonstrate you that does an ECU simulation with t-programming and generates messages that I invented. Signed data, which actually comes out of a Memorator which is a t-program that I wrote to generate a message. Speed coming out of my little water sensor that can flip a little paddle wheel and you can see my water speed.

If I had all of my goodies and I didn’t have to bring my ski boots, I’d be able to show you some other stuff like system time and position rapid update messages coming out of my GPS which I left home. We’ve seen those CAN frames in real life earlier, those two CAN frames. The other message is the rate-of-turn message. One of my messages here is the heading message. So we would define some messages out here, or some complete messages. But I’ll just, again, give you the gist of it. I’m not going to get into every detail of it. So this is a cutout of my homemade hacked DBC file displayed via Kvaser’s DBC file editor. We show some examples of our software here. So we’ve talked a little about our software. I call it software that does more from the partner companies. We’re supplying software that allows our partners to be in the software business and sell our hardware. But the real brunt of the software that’s specific for a given industry or that’s detailed for a given application, the really good software comes from our partners. You got to have some basic applications and things to show the hardware works.

You got to have drivers or the hardware doesn’t work.

The software that we provide is software that’s pretty much necessary to play in the industry and sell hardware. Kvaser is in the business of selling hardware. I want to mention advantages and limitations of the Kvaser software.

Recorded as part of a ‘live’ training session in January 2019.īryan Hennessy: So we’ve talked a little bit about CANKing. By giving real world examples, common practices, and an in-depth look at DBC files, Bryan Hennessy gives a real-world walkthrough of CAN. The CAN Basics Training Course provides a practical approach to understanding how CAN works. CANKing, Database Editor, advantages and limitations, software that does more from Partner companies
