4. ECAN Tools introduction
Users can use ECAN Tools software to receive and transmit CAN data. Flexible use of functions can help to more with less.

4.1 Inicio
1. If ECAN Tools has been installed, users can directly run it on the desktop.
2. Choose the device type and click “open device”, one adapter will shown in the below.
3. Choose work mode. Software provides three kinds of work mode: normal, listen,selftest.
Normal: utilice este modo para transmitir o recibir datos.
Listen: use this mode to receive data only, and don’t send response or clock.
Selftest: use this mode to test if the adapter is working well.
4. Choose baud rate according to the CAN-bus, don’t match will lead to communication failed.
If you don’t know the baud rate, you can use “automatic identification of baud rate” function to adapt.
4.2 Transmisión/Recepción de datos
Transmitting and receiving is the basic function of ECAN Tools, in this interface,users can directly see the received CAN data, and sent the data to CAN-bus.

4.3 Función de diagnóstico del bus CAN
CAN-Bus diagnosis function can detect the bus error frames and bus arbitration lost. CAN bus status display: indicate the CAN bus status include: bus normal, passive error, active error, bus hung.

The CAN controller FIFO overflow: message within a certain period of time is too dense, lead to data loss.
The CAN controller error alarm: when many of errors on the bus, error counter exceeds the alarm threshold, and display the error count.
The CAN controller negative error: when many of send or receive errors, lead to the CAN controller into the negative state, and display the error count.
CAN bus controller error: when nodes send or receive errors, error counter value will be accumulate, and can catch the wrong information, such as ACK, CRC error and so on.
4.4 Statistics mode
When receiving data, software can classify these data in ID, data, name, format or type and counting the number of each data.
Esta función es adecuada para grandes sistemas de datos, los ingenieros pueden observar y analizar fácilmente otros datos después de combinar los mismos datos.
4.5 Otras funciones
Guardar datos: guardar la lista de recepción, formato de guardado: txt, can, csv y binario.
Modo de visualización: modo de desplazamiento y modo de lista, el modo de lista puede clasificar los datos juntos según las reglas.
Configuración del filtro: los usuarios pueden establecer el filtrado multietapa editando el ID del filtro.

Data mask: masked ID is not displayed.
Marcos de error: se pueden mostrar / ocultar los marcos de error en el bus.
