With the Transmit module, CAN-messages can be defined and transmitted
individually or cyclically.
Below the menu- and toolbar of the Transmit module there is an entry field in
the form of a table for entering the CAN-messages to be transmitted.
|
The column Tx displays a symbol indicating if
it is a manual or cyclic transmit object |
|
|
In the column Identifier, the Identifier of
the CAN-message is entered |
|
|
In the column Message the symbolic name from
the database assigned to this identifier is shown |
|
|
In the column RTR, the message-type is
defined. If the checkbox is activated a remote frame will be sent. |
|
|
A further description of the message is possible in
the column Description |
|
|
The data of the CAN-message are entered in the column Data.
By clicking on the button in the toolbar, it is possible to switch between
decimal and hexadecimal entry. |
|
|
In the column Cycle options the
properties of a cyclic message can be set. Number of messages, cycle time and
incerementation of the identifier, a data byte or a data word can be
defined.
|
Now try to create the first CAN-message.
Ensure that the button ID hex and and Data hex are pressed and
click in the first ID table field. Enter the hexadecimal value "14" for the
Identifier and change with the tab key or by clicking to the column Description.
This message should transmit the speed of an engine. Therefore, for example,
"Motor speed" would be a suitable message name.
For the entry of the speed value, the first two bytes of the data area should be
used. Enter a value in the data field, e.g. "E2 04".
Now start the Receive module, so that it can receive messages. Then
transmit the configured CAN-message either
|
|
Via the menu entries Function | Transmit single
message, |
|
|
by clicking on the icon 
in the toolbar or |
|
|
by clicking to the symbol in the column Tx of
the message line. |
Repeat this several times. The dispatch of the message is confirmed in the
Transmit module in the state line.
If the Receive module is in Scroll mode, it displays each individual message
with its time of reception. This can be shown relative to the previous message
or absolute to the starting time of the canAnalyser by clicking on
the button rel/abs.
Now switch to Overwrite mode. Here the Receive module always shows only the last
received message, but its column Count shows the total number of
received messages with their individual identifiers.
In both modes the display can be reset either
|
|
via the menu entry Functions | Clear all or |
|
|
by clicking on the icon 
in the toolbar. |
