Example 1: A large customer had an intermittent problem on a drivetrain bus. The suspected cause was a faulty multipacket broadcast data transfer (BAM), with packets being received out of sequence. An engineer spent a few days in a truck along with the driver, trying to catch a trace of the problem, before trying out a Kvaser Memorator Pro and TRX.
Said the customer: “I wrote a quick data logging routine that checks for mis-matched BAM packets on the CAN traffic, and when seen, saves data to a buffer.”
With a little help from Kvaser Support, the customer confirmed: “The logger worked exactly as needed … it was much easier than the options we had in the past.”
Example 2: A small company used TRX to develop a t program to replace the vehicle under test, a recreational vehicle in this case, that they had rented for testing purposes but were about to lose.
Specifically, their t program needed to highlight the on/off state of a light when testing a command sent from an iPad. “Can we create a device to monitor the CAN bus and send a specific message when we receive a command?”, they asked. Kvaser helped provide the code for this project, which can be shared and is available here.
