5 Control panel: Starting and monitoring

Via the Control panel you can:

call, extend or modify your canAnalyser-configuration,
obtain information on the state of the canAnalyser and of the CAN-bus
start, end or remove modules

Under the menu bar the Control panel has a toolbar with which the most important functions can quickly be selected.


In the configuration tree the current analysis configuration is displayed hierarchically. An analysis configuration defines a Project with name of the configuration file, the available controllers and the Analysis modules. Each icon in the configuration tree has its own popup menu, which can be activated using the right mouse button.


By clicking the controller context menu point Status the status window of the selected controller is opened. In the status window the operating mode and possible faults are displayed by symbolic LEDs as well as the current busload in per cent.


LED Meaning (LED on)
Can CAN-Controller running
TxPen CAN-message cannot be transmitted (Transmit pending)
Ovr Overrun in the CAN-Controller
Warn CAN-Controller in the Warning-Level
B.off CAN-Controller has switched off (Bus off)
Busload approximate display of the busload in per cent

The modules have a context menu, via which they can be started, stopped or removed from the configuration tree.

The canAnalyser allows the use of two controllers on one CAN-interface and thus the independent analysis of two CAN-networks. The Controllers are automatically detected by the Control panel and it is possible to configure them differently. Different modules can be inserted into each configuration.
