PCAN-Explorer 7: Plotter Add-in
Record and plot CAN signal curves live in PCAN-Explorer 7
The Plotter Add-in draws signals as curves over time while PCAN-Explorer 7 is connected. Signals can come from received or transmitted CAN messages, virtual variables or macro calculations, with no fixed limit on channels or Y-axes.
You can zoom and scroll the axes during a recording and measure with a cursor. Recordings export to CSV, the current view saves as an image, and CAN trace files (.trc) can be imported for plotting. The free PEAK Plot Viewer opens recordings on PCs without PCAN-Explorer.
