The Gemac CAN-bus Tester 2 is a widely used measuring device for control of bus parameters. The success story starts already in the year 2002 with the first model. The hardware was completely redesigned in version 2. The corresponding software is still developed and has been enhanced with extensive updates.
Check the setup of the bus before you switch on with the bus wiring test, measure under running conditions down on the physical layer and analyses data of the nodes with the protocol monitor. The longtime monitor shows scattered errors and creeping signal loss.
The trigger output makes it possible to show data from only one node of the bus.
The CAN-bus Tester 2 great box contents within the service case with a big adapter set make it possible to use the device out of the box in many environments. You can save your measurements and print a status protocol directly from the software.
