Windows® Software for Displaying CAN and CAN FD Messages
PCAN-View is a straightforward CAN monitor software for Windows. It enables users to view, transmit, and record CAN data traffic. Key features include manual and periodic message transmission at a user-defined bit rate, real-time display of bus system errors and memory overflows in the CAN hardware, and a trace function for recording and saving CAN data. (For more advanced functionality, please consider PCAN Explorer 6.)
This software comes bundled with every PCAN PC hardware product, making it an easy and quick starting point. When using PCAN-View, all available PEAK CAN interfaces are listed in the connection dialog. Users can select their hardware and bit rate, granting access to software functions, hardware-specific settings, and relevant information.
Notably, PCAN-View version 4 introduces support for the CAN FD standard, which offers higher bandwidth for data transfer.
