CANaerospace Option For CANalyzer

CANalyzer Extension for CANaerospace Users

Download Datasheet

CANaerospace protocol takes into consideration the following special requirements of aerospace travel technology: safety, certification capability, simple application, and openness with regard to user-defined message types. It has already been implemented by the following:

• Fairchild-Dornier 728JET engineering simulator
• SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy)
• AWRH (All-Weather Rescue Helicopter)
• AFMS (Advanced Flight Management System)
• Eurofighter and TIGER simulation cockpits
• IBIS Aerospace Ae270

Features and Advantages

In addition to the CANalyzer high-performance functionality, the .CANaerospace Option gives the user a tool that can be used for initial development to production of the CANaerospace project. The CANaerospace-specific extensions allow the user to concentrate on the actual tasks of data analysis, without detailed knowledge of the CANaerospace protocol. This significantly increases the efficiency of data analysis. Misinterpretations of CAN frames are avoided as well.

Functions

The .CANaerospace Option for CANalyzer expands the standard functionality of the CANalyzer with:

• Symbolic object-oriented communication monitoring through interpretation of the various message formats in a Trace Window.
• Emergency event data is displayed with error code, operation ID, and location ID.
• Node service data is distinguished according to services such as identification, node synchronization, download, and upload.
• For normal operation data, the .CANaerospace option for CANalyzer contains a database with all messages of the CANaerospace specification. Application-specific data can be stored in this database. All data can be assigned symbolically to names.
• The data and statistics windows of CANalyzer are also available for analysis of CANaerospace data traffic.
• The CANalyzer programming language, CAPL ( Communication Access Programming Language), allows for direct symbolic access to data and services of the protocol. CAPL can thus be used to emulate CANaerospace stations very simply.
• The Generator Block integrated in CANalyzer creates messages on the user level. It is possible to specify CANaerospace services and the associated parameters application specifically.

Hardware Interfaces

The CANaerospace Option works with all hardware interfaces that the CANalyzer supports.
