PCAN-Explorer 6: J1939 Add-in 6
Read and send SAE J1939 parameters by name in PCAN-Explorer 6
SAE J1939 is the CAN protocol used in trucks, buses, agricultural and other utility vehicles for control and diagnostic data, built on 29-bit extended identifiers. This add-in teaches PCAN-Explorer 6 the parameter groups defined by the standard, so you work with named parameters instead of raw IDs and bytes.
It comes with a J1939 database (revision September 2024) that holds the definitions and parameters. PEAK allows that database to be used only together with PCAN-Explorer and this add-in. J1939 FD (SAE J1939-22 over CAN FD) is not supported in this version.
