Multiple interfaces allow users to work on multiple buses simultaneously.
Applications:
Automotive: LIN is commonly used in automotive networks for control of non-critical systems such as climate control, lighting, and seat adjustments, while CAN is used for critical systems such as engine control and braking.
Industrial Automation: Both LIN and CAN can be used in industrial settings for communication between devices
The Peak System PCAN-USB Opto-Decoupled is a USB-to-CAN interface designed for connecting a computer to a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus via a USB port. It provides opto-decoupling for electrical isolation between the PC and the CAN bus, which is essential for protecting sensitive electronics and preventing damage caused by voltage differences or ground loops.
Key Features:
1. Opto-Decoupling: Electrical isolation of up to 500 volts between the CAN side and the USB side ensures that the PC is protected from high voltages or ground differences that may occur on the CAN bus.
2. USB Interface: The device connects to the PC via USB, making it highly portable and easy to use without the need for additional hardware like PCI cards.
3. CAN Bus Interface: Supports High-Speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) with bit rates from 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s.
4. Driver Support: Compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS. The drivers provided by PEAK-System allow access to the CAN bus for applications developed with the PCAN-Basic API.
5. CAN Status LEDs: The device is equipped with LEDs that indicate CAN bus status, including power, data transmission, and error conditions, making troubleshooting easier.
6. Compact and Portable: Its small form factor and USB connection make it suitable for both desktop and mobile use in a wide variety of environments.
7. Galvanic Isolation: Protects the CAN hardware against disturbances caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Applications:
• Automotive diagnostics and testing
• Industrial automation systems
• CAN bus monitoring and development
• Robotics and embedded systems
Technical Specifications:
• USB Standard: USB 2.0, compatible with 1.1
• CAN Protocols: ISO 11898-2 (High-Speed CAN), ISO 11898-5
• CAN Connector: D-Sub, 9-pin
• Operating Temperature: Typically -40 to 85°C
• Power Supply: Power supplied via the USB port
• Maximum CAN bus length: Depends on CAN bus speed (as per CAN specification)
This device is widely used in industries that rely on CAN networks, including automotive, industrial automation, and research and development projects. The opto-decoupled design enhances reliability and safety in potentially harsh or electrically noisy environments.
The PCAN-USB Pro FD adapter enables the connection of CAN FD and LIN networks to a computer via USB. Two field buses can be connected at the same time, up to four with appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN FD, 2 x LIN). Each CAN FD channel is separately isolated against USB and LIN with a maximum of 500 Volts. Its robust aluminum casing makes the PCAN-USB Pro FD adapter suitable for mobile applications.
The CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is downward-compatible to the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, thus CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CAN FD extensions are not applicable.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of supply and support the standard CAN FD. The monitor application PLIN-View Pro as well as the PLIN programming interface are also included in the scope of supply.
Code Complexity Measurement Tools for C, C++, Java, and C#
What is measured by Testwell CMT++/CMTJava ?
Based on the static properties of the program code CMT++ and CMTJava gives estimates how error prone the program source code is due to its complexity, how long it will take to understand the code, what is the logical volume of the code, etc …
As the project team has not usually time to inspect all the code produced by the project, CMT++/CMTJava can assist in locating the modules, which are most likely to cause problems in the future.
Testwell CMT++ und Testwell CMTJava help by measuring the code quality. This is particularly interesting for companies which subcontract their software development. Subcontractors can proof the quality of their code with Testwell CMT++/CMTJava.
Testwell CTC++ was originally developed for source code in the C language. It supports C++ for over 30 years and continuously keeps pace with its highly dynamic language standards.
The C language family has some special challenges for coverage measurement:
Source code in header files – this is merged for all of its copies by Testwell CTC++.
Use of macros – Testwell CTC++ instruments the already preprocessed code and thus gains access to the complete macro content.
Code variants through preprocessing: In safety-critical software development, variants must be tested separately. Testwell CTC++ recognizes variants and identifies them separately.
An add-on is available for the Java language.
Coverage Measures
Testwell CTC++ offers all coverage measures required by various safety standards:
Function Coverage
Statement Coverage
Decision / Branch Coverage
Condition Coverage
MC/DC: Modified Condition / Decision Coverage
Multicondition Coverage
Executed, non-executed and only partially executed lines of code are visually highlighted (Line Coverage).
Safety-Critical Software Development
When human lives are at risk, various safety standards such as ISO 26262 in the automotive sector or DO-178C in aviation require the measurement of code coverage.
Several hundred companies worldwide use Testwell CTC++ in this development environment to cover all coverage requirements of their standard up to the highest required level of MC/DC.
Testwell CTC++ is certified by TÜV Süd for functional safety in accordance with IEC 61508, ISO26262, EN 50128 and IEC 62304.
Testing
All types of tests, whether unit tests, integration tests or complete system tests, can be carried out as usual. Testing can be done fully automated, partially automated or manually.
The instrumented program or test executable writes the data to a file during testing. When the test is executed on a target, this writing out is fully customizable; the data can, for example, be transferred directly to the host.
With Testwell CTC++, all test runs of a project can be combined into a single report. It works with all common unit test tools, test platforms and frameworks.
Flexible Reporting
Our HTML report offers overview views and shows the details of the coverage measurement in the source code. Its reporting levels can be configured to suit the project.
Testwell CTC++ creates all coverage reports based on templates and thus supports all text-based formats such as XML, CSV or JSON. This way, third-party systems such as dashboards can easily be supplied with the required data.
Missing coverage is explained and documented via Justifications. Testwell CTC++ shows the impact of Justifications on all coverage measures – so it is clear and transparent whether 100% of the code has been tested or at least explained.
Embedded Software
The coverage measurement for software on embedded targets has some specific challenges:
div
Low Memory
The instrumentation overhead is basically low and can be further reduced through various workflows. In extreme cases, the coverage is measured over individual bits and can be read out via the debugger.
Coverage Data
Any communication interface between target and host can be used for writing out coverage data.
The runtime library for writing out the coverage data is supplied as C code that can be adapted to the capabilities of the target.
Cross-Compiler
Testwell CTC++ works independently of the compiler and can be configured for any C / C++ compiler. We provide our users with numerous compiler configurations and support them in adapting to new compilers.
