Channel ID

This parameter allows the driver to bind the configuration to the physical channels. When adding a new channel to the list, its ID is set to 0 by default.

Make sure to change the ID to a value relevant to your simulation.

Enable CAN FD

This parameter configures the channel in CAN FD mode allowing for up to 64 bytes of data on every message, provided that your hardware supports CAN FD. Non-CAN FD messages can still be sent/received by this channel.

When CAN FD is enabled, a matching arbitration rate needs to be configured for all of the nodes of the bus on which this channel is connected.

Arbitration bit rate

This parameter selects the arbitration bit rate when the channel is configured in CAN FD mode. The supported preset arbitration bit rate values are 1Mbps[SP 62.5%], 500Kbps[SP 62.5%], 500Kbps[SP 80%].

Users can configure a custom bitrate/sampling point combination. To do so, select Custom from the list and fill in the configuration fields.

Bit rate

This parameter is chosen based on the desired setup (cable length) and behavior. The value is chosen from a list of bit rates from 50 Kbps to 1 Mbps (500 Kbps to 8Mbps for CAN FD) with pre-configured Sampling Point values.

Users can configure a custom bitrate/sampling point combination. To do so, select Custom from the list and fill in the configuration fields.

Use extended mode
  • If set to true, the channel is configured to support CAN extended frames, resulting in the message IDs of this channel having a value between 0 and 536870911 included.
  • If set to false, the message IDs of this channel can have their value set between 0 and 2047 included.
Use silent modeIf set to true, the channel will only act as a listener, it will not be possible to send any messages.
Monitor bus load

If set to true, a connection point that gives the current utilization of the bus in percentage will be created.

Note: Enabling this option will slow down the CAN data communication.

Enable transmission controlIf set to true, a connection point that allows the activation or deactivation of the transmission feature of a channel at run time will be created.
Enable reception controlIf set to true, a connection point that allows the activation or deactivation of the reception feature of a channel at run time will be created.
Record channel dataIf set to true, channel data for this channel will be logged.
Monitor channel flags, error counters and statusesIf selected, connection points for flags, error counters, and statuses for this channel will be created .

...

  • ISO 11898-1 and 11898-2 standards supported.
  • Maximum number of channels: 4 per Kvaser card for all platforms.
  • Supported bit rates: 50, 62, 83, 100, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 Kbps and up to 8 Mbps for CAN FD.
  • Number of frames per message that can be received in one time step: 20 (Buffer size parameter value).
  • The maximum value of UINT64 data is the maximum value of a double data, as RT-LAB UI interprets all data in double data type formats when displayed in UI.
  • Enabling Bus Load feature: will slow down the CAN data communication.
