Part No.:MPESA-Dev-Test-Inspector
CANopen timing and performance analysis tool. Comes
with a PEAK PCAN-USB CAN interface and support module. Measure node
performance, automated node limits testing, generate ratings and reports.
PCANopen Inspector is a complete professional grade
CANopen node testing and analysis package. Create detailed information on
capabilities, performance and limits of CANopen nodes!
By running a suite of configurable tests, the
performance and reliability of a CANopen node may be determined. Multiple
aspects of the performance of the node may be measured under different
situations with and without simulated background traffic and warnings or
errors generated when specific user configurable conditions occur. In
addition, automated test modes allow PCANopen Inspector to find the limits
of a node’s performance, allowing precise characterization of the node.
The CAN in Automation Performance Test (CiA TR-308)
is implemented in PCANopen Inspector, providing a standardized means of
testing nodes.
