EB tresos Inspector: Universal FlexRay, CAN and LIN Network Analysis

The ever increasing complexity of bus systems, growing volumes of data and the aspect of time-control demand new and innovative ways of presenting and visualizing the communication are necessary. That is why we developed EB tresos Inspector, a measurement and analysis software to monitor and analyze the data traffic on FlexRay, CAN and LIN bus systems.

The EB 6100 or the EB 6110 serve as hardware interfaces which measure data with an internal time stamp with a precision of 25ns. This rugged interface hardware is fit for automotive use. The protection class IP65 guarantees protection against dust and splash water. You can not only analyze live communication but also data previously recorded on the integrated flash memory of an EB 6110 hardware.

A common use case is the debugging of a network. The EB tresos Inspector software supports the user with a well-arranged graphical user interface that is highly customizable. Windows with specialized tabular views help analyze the data. These windows display the FlexRay, CAN, LIN and ADIO data, which can be measured in parallel, in textual or graphical form.

The measurement data can also be filtered and sorted according to various criteria:

• display of the bus data traffic (Frames, PDUs) in tabular form
• display of signals in tabular und graphical form
• bus statistics

A Windows COM interface enables you to create your own applications. The following functionalities can be realized: 

• configuration of the FlexRay and CAN controller
• buffer-interface for sending data on FlexRay and CAN bus
• FlexRay start-up without any other nodes in the network and start-up buddy with only a single start-up node
• destruction of selected FlexRay frames using a disturbing pulse
• application examples in C++, Perl and Visual Basic included in delivery
