PCAN-Diag 2
Handheld CAN bus tester with a built-in two-channel scope
PCAN-Diag 2 is a handheld unit for checking a High-speed CAN bus in the field. It finds the bit rate, measures bus load and termination, reads the voltage on every pin of the D-Sub connector, and receives and transmits CAN frames.
A two-channel oscilloscope shows CAN-High, CAN-Low and their difference, and decodes frames straight from the analog trace so you can see where a frame breaks. Traffic can be recorded to the internal memory card and played back later. You work it with a single push dial.
