With hardware timestamping, you can log messages with
Overview
microsecond-accurate timestamps for reconstructing network events
and correlating data across synchronized devices. All USB-847x
interfaces use an industry-standard 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector
to interface to CAN and LIN buses.
NI USB-847x devices provide Hi-Speed USB interfaces for Controller Area
Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) monitoring, logging,
and testing. With high-speed CAN, low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN, and
LIN interfaces featuring optional hardware synchronization, you can use
two or more USB-847x devices together to interface to a wide variety of
CAN and LIN networks.
Hi-Speed USB connectivity and onboard frame buffering ensure
no dropped frames, even under 100 percent bus loads.
The USB-847x interfaces are ideal for many types of
applications, including:
CAN Interfaces
USB-847x CAN interfaces feature the industry-standard Philips SJA1000
CAN controller, which implements ISO 11898 CAN functionality. The
SJA1000 offers additional features to aid in system development,
including listen-only mode, sleep/wakeup mode, error counter access,
and self-reception (echo) mode. USB-847x CAN interfaces recognize
standard (11-bit) and extended (29-bit) arbitration IDs and are compatible
with J1939 networks.
• In-vehicle network monitoring and logging
• Bus load monitoring
• Device validation with synchronized data acquisition
• CAN device development and test
• CAN and LIN data correlation with external measurements
The convenient all-in-one design features a captive 2 m USB cable
and built-in transceiver, requiring no extra cables or accessories to
get applications running quickly.
