VisSim/CAN is a bundle of
a USB-CAN device and a VisSim block interface to that device. VisSim/CAN
gives you a low cost Controller Area Network (CAN) development
interface. You can easily log data, plot, strip-chart or run a virtual
plant or controller for model based development. To read or write CAN
data from VisSim simply plug in the USB-CAN device (USB drivers will
need to be installed the first time only), wire CAN Read and/or CAN
Write blocks into a diagram and then click the Go button. You may
transmit and receive from any number of different bus ID's in a single
diagram.
The CAN Read and CAN Write blocks let you read
data from and write data to the CAN bus. Baud rate, data types and byte
offset within the data packet can be quickly modified through the dialog
boxes for these blocks.
VisSim/CAN supports bus speeds of 1 MHZ, 500
kHz, and 250 kHz.

"We selected
VisSim/CAN software to help us develop inter-device CAN communication
for our automated glucose measurement system. The software's graphical
user interface made it easy to learn and use. The ability to control the
packet size, CAN address, and interpret the size and type of data bytes
within the packet, gave us all the flexibility we needed right out of
the box. The USB hardware was convenient and easy to use too. It saved
us a considerable amount of development time. I highly recommend this
software to other engineers."
