CANalyzer_InstallationQuickStartGuide

Overview

Operating concept

If you are starting up CANalyzer for the first time, and its functionality and controls are still completely new to you, the following tour will help you to become familiar with its operating concept and its most important features.  For this tour you will first set up a very simple CAN bus where CANalyzer acts as both, sender and receiver.

Set up CANalyzer

In the first step CANalyzer is configured as a data source, i.e. as a transmitting station. You will then learn about CANalyzer's analysis options by studying the generated data in the measurement windows afterwards.  In complex real systems CANalyzer typically also acts as sender and receiver. You can utilize the program as a data source to transmit data to other controllers, but you can simultaneously use it to observe, log and evaluate the data traffic on the CAN bus.
