I'm reviewing the Microchip CAN Analyzer for a Road Test. It'll be used in a CAN Bus that I'm designing. This first test is to see if It can capture data in the logic layer.

First Impression
I've filmed my attempts to install and try out the software.
Similar to one of my fellow road testers, I had issues installing from the provided DVD. It worked with the version on Microchip's website.
First Test
I don't have a physical CAN bus yet. That's WIP. My current setup is on the logic level, treading the 3V3 signals directly from the microcontrollers.
I wasn't able to capture data immediately, but after a few hops and bumps I got it working. The Analyzer logs data on the logic level of my CAN setup.
Here's a video capture of that:
That's not a bad result for a noon of playing around. I'll try to send some data from the analyzer in the next blog.

Nice update.
I look forward to seeing what happens when you plug it into an actual vehicle.

First test with the analyzer sending data:
DAB , I hope that one of the other road testers will do that.
I wrote in my application that I will not use it in an existing vehicle, but as development tool.
