CANalyzer Workshop | 1-5 Days

This workshop is divided into four separate modules, which together provide you with a comprehensive knowledge about the tool CANalyzer. In the first two modules you will learn the funcdamentals of CAN and the functionality and practical use of CANalyzer as measurement, analysis and testing tool. In the third module, you will apply your acquired knowledge to perform extensive measurements and analysis on a real CAN network. The fourth module covers the practical use of the programming language CAPL within the CANalyzer environment.

CANalyzer/CANoe Workshop

This workshop consists of three modules. The first module provides knowledge to help you understand the essential principles of the CAN protocol. This class was developed with automotive CAN implementations as the focus, also covers real world of importance to those working with CAN technology for the first time.

Module 2 provides knowledge and hands-on experience to help analyze CAN network message traffic using CANalyzer. This class teaches the operation of CANalyzer starting with building a configuration and concluding with messsage generation.

The final one day class provides knowledge and hands-on experience to help you develop CAN projects using CANoe. Topics include understanding basic CANoe components, designing CAN messages and data, developing a CANoe panel, programming in Vector's Communication Access Programming Language (CAPL) and example CANoe applications.
