Management of all settings, information, and files in projects
Exporting entire projects including linked files to handy packets for archiving or sharing
Extensive revision of the user interface with improved dialogs for creating transmit messages and managing signals
Automatic notification about new software versions and support with the update process
Integrated text editor with syntax highlighting for creating and editing of Symbol files, macros and VBScript
User interface language can be switched (German/English)
Integration of add-ins to upgrade functionality

Connection to CAN and CAN FD

Connection with up to 16 CAN channels
Simultaneous use of multiple CAN interfaces independent of the hardware type
Support for CAN specifications 2.0 A/B and FD
CAN bit rates (nominal) up to 1 Mbit/s
Data bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s (only when using a CAN FD interface)
Optional use of custom bit rates
Listen-only mode can be activated
Clear overview of connections with their bit rate, status, error counter, and bus load
Function to execute a hardware reset of the CAN controller

Transmission and Reception

Representation of the CAN data traffic in sortable receive and transmit lists with configurable columns display
Display of messages showing the ID, length, data bytes, time-outs, number of messages received, and receiving interval
Display of error frames can be activated for each connection
Representation of CAN IDs in hexadecimal or decimal format
Display of receive, transmit, and error states
Message reception with a maximum resolution of 100 µs
Manual and periodic transmission of messages with a maximum resolution of 1 ms
Transmission of CAN messages in response to remote frames (only with CAN 2.0 A/B)
Messages can be grouped as transmit lists, stored and loaded as desired, e.g., in order to emulate CAN nodes
Multiple flexible filters can be configured and, for example, assigned to the transmit/receive window or to various different tracers

Recording and playback

Logging of the CAN data traffic along with the errors that have occurred as an option
Playback of trace files with optional loop function
Operation of multiple tracers at the same time
Representation of the logged messages with details such as time stamp, type, ID, length, and data bytes
Representation of the data bytes in hexadecimal, decimal, or ASCII format
Filtering of the messages for logging through message filters
Recording of CAN data traffic directly to files or to the RAM (in linear, dynamic, or circular buffer mode)
Playback of logged CAN messages directly from files or the buffer
Storing of the logged data to readable text files or CSV files for further processing in Excel or similar
Enhanced processing of huge trace files compared to PCAN-Explorer version 5
Subsequent examination of the logged data in the buffer via different Symbol files

Symbolic Representation

Clear and readable representation of CAN messages based on the symbol format from PEAK-System:
- Easy allocation of CAN messages by assigning alphanumeric names
- Bit-exact division of the data into variables for assigning names, data type, etc.
Comfortable Symbol file creation with the supplied Windows^® software PCAN-Symbol Editor or with the integrated text editor
User-friendly real-time monitoring of several signals via the Watch window
Graphical display of up to 4 signals with a simple line writer (Line Writer Add-in)

Automation with Macros and VBScript

Automation of small tasks or complex processes with macros or VBScript like for example:
- Test procedures for the implementation or development of CAN systems
- Send an e-mail if a temperature is exceeded
- Start an action when a particular message is received
- Open an Excel sheet when an event occurs and save the data in individual cells
- Calculate variables from the data of incoming CAN messages
Creation of macros and scripts with the integrated text editor
Assignment of function keys to individual macros
Access with VBScript to almost all program elements via the PCAN-Explorer object model
VBScript macros also run in the background even without the PCAN-Explorer interface

System Requirements

Windows^® 10, 8.1, 7 (32/64-bit)
At least 2 GB RAM and 1.5 GHz CPU
Free USB port for installation stick and copy protection dongle
For the CAN bus connection: PC CAN interface from PEAK-System
Internet connection recommended for activation

PCAN-Explorer 6 - Professional Windows® Software to Communicate with CAN and CAN FD Buses

The PCAN-Explorer 6 is a versatile, professional program for working with CAN and CAN FD networks. The user is not just limited to the observation of the CAN traffic. Manual or periodic transmission of messages or entire transmission lists allows him a direct influence, for example, for control purposes or simulations.

The PCAN-Explorer 6 can connect to several CAN and CAN FD buses at the same time. Unlike previous versions, the hardware type of used CAN adapters is no longer a limiting factor.

A central point in the use of the program is the symbolic representation of the CAN messages and their payload. With the help of Symbol files, the hexadecimal information is transformed into a readable and vivid format.

PCAN-Explorer 6 functionality

Since version 6, the trace function, in addition to recording the data traffic, also allows the playback of existing traces. The recordings and incoming CAN messages can be filtered using various criteria.

Special requirements, as well as the automation of complex processes can be implemented using macros. The sophisticated implementation of VBScript accesses the extensive object model of the PCAN-Explorer 6.

Furthermore, the functionality of the PCAN-Explorer can be extended by add-ins. PEAK-System offers add-ins that provide even better opportunities to analyse and influence data. The Plotter produces a graphical representation of the signals‘ time course by live recording or on the basis of traces. The Instruments Panel is used for an own arrangement of various displays, controls, and switches. Further add-ins enable the import of third-party configurations based on the CANdb format and add the support for the J1939 protocol.
