 current configuration
Select menu “Information”-> “ParamNow”, to view the current configuration.
 Device Information
Select menu “Information”-> “Device Information”, to view the device information.
 Select Channel
USB-CAN-1(x) product have one channel , the index number is 0(Ch1).
USB-CAN-2(x) product have two channels , the index number is respectively 0,1(Ch1,Ch2).
Set CAN parameters to ensure that the setting for each channel.
 CAN Baud Rate
Select menu “Settings” -> “CAN Settings”, to open the CAN Settings dialog.
Select channel you want to modify, and then select the Baud-Rate from drop-down list or DIY
parameters by select the “self-define” item, click “Set” button near Baud-Rate settings.
Note: We recommend that you first set baud rate, then connect it to CAN-bus.
 Work mode
USB CAN products support 3 kind of work-mode: normal, listen , self-Test.
Normal: The CAN module will appear on the CAN-bus, and it can send and receive
 CAN messages.
Listen: The module will appear on the CAN-bus, but in a passive state. It can receive CAN
messages, but cannot transmit CAN messages or answer. This mode can be used as a bus monitor
because it does not affect CAN-bus communications but can observe the CAN-bus states.
13 / 18
Self-Test: For adapter self-test, CAN module receives its own messages. In this mode, the send part of
the CAN module is connected internally with the reception one. This mode will provide a "false" response,
so that don’t need another node to provide the acknowledge bit. And the CAN messages will not sent to
CAN-bus.
 Filter
Users can set the filter-mode , ACR and AMR to filter the received CAN messages.
 Transmit messages
Modify the message information on the send area, and click “send” button to transmit messages.
Note: The “System time” in data list is system time in computer, and compare with the actual
eventuate-time there may be up to 50ms difference.
Attention: The USB-CAN products will not receive acknowledge message when it isn’t connect to the
CAN-bus or parameters settings error , then it will resend the messages automatic until the message
is received by other node in CAN-bus or the USB-CAN product restart. There is 1000 frames length
send buffer, it will return 0 when call the “VCI_transmit” function failure.
 ID Format
There are two kind of format for ID: SJA1000 mode (Align Left) and Real ID(Align Right).
SJA1000 mode：SJA1000 internal registers format, the highest bit of the ID and ID byte Bit31
alignment. For example, standard frame ID = 2, make 0x00 00 00 02 shift left 21 bit, and the
SJA1000 mode ID is 0x 00 40 00 00; if the frame is extended one, make 0x00 00 00 02 shift left 3 bit,
then the SJA1000 mode ID is 0x00 00 00 10.
Real ID: The lowest bit (Bit0) of ID is aligned with the ID byte Bit0.For example, if ID=2, and the real
ID is 2 whatever the frame format is standard or extended.
 Enable/Disable Receive
Check “CAN receive enable” to open the receive thread. The latest messages will be shown in list
control in time. If uncheck “CAN receive enable”, when there are messages on CAN-bus, the receive
buffer on the USB-CAN adapter may overflow.
14 / 18
When in the high-speed receiving, it is best not operating the CAN settings, query etc. that can
impact of receiving.
 High-speed mode, show list data, information save
These three items are located in “Display” menu.
When the “High-speed mode” is checked, “show list data” and “information save” become invalid.
When the “”show list data” is checked, the latest messages will be shown in list control.
When the “information save” is checked, the messages will be save to the specified text-format
excel-file.
We recommend that you check the "high-speed mode" in order to save memory and CPU
consumption when using the high-speed transceiver.
3.4 Self-Test
Each channel supports self-test mode. To Self-test in the following steps:
1) Plug the USB-CAN adapter into the PC's USB, and then run the “USB-CAN Tool”.
2) -CAN”, and then
open the USB-CAN adapter, and set the “work mode” to “self-test” in next popup dialog.
3) In the main UI Send area, set “Frames=1”, “Send Interval=1000”, check “CAN receive enable”, then
click “send” button to send message. It will receive the same message in same channel.
4) If USB-CAN adapter is USB-CAN-2(x) product, you also can interconnect channel1 and cchannel2 to
test.
Tips:
If the above operation is not successful, please carefully check the correct steps. If it still does not work,
please contact consult factory.
If it can’t receive messages after the USB-CAN adapter restart, may need to restart the USB-CAN Tool.
15 / 18
When the actual debugging using the USB-CAN adapter, make sure that the CANH and CANL
connected correctly.
