SAE J1939 Designer from IXXAT for cross-product configuration and design

With SAE J1939 Designer, IXXAT offers a cost-effective Windows-based tool for cross-product configuration and design. SAE J1939 Designer comes with a catalog, containing all user-specific parameters (SPNs) and messages (PGNs) defined within the J1939 standard. Thus, the corresponding values can be easily selected and assigned to the device during the definition process. In addition, the creation and maintenance of SPNs and PGNs is possible.

New, enhanced and revised version 1.2.0.2810.

As an extension module for IXXAT’s canAnalyser, the SAE J1939 module allows the interpretation of received messages according to the SAE J1939 standard, which considerably simplifies the analysis of SAE J1939 systems.

The new version of the module comes with an updated database supporting the PGNs/SPNs according to the latest specification SAE J1939 of 2008-Q2. It now displays the PGN acronyms next to their number and provides notes on the PGNs via tooltip. In addition, the online logging functionality has been optimized and further improvements at the display of messages and symbols were made.

IXXAT now offers its SAE J1939 protocol software in an extended and revised version 2.02.

Besides an adaptation of the user interface, which now allows an easy extension of the software functionality via optional modules, e.g. for NMEA 2000 and ISO 15 765, the support of J1939 devices with dynamically adjustable addresses has been improved.
The protocol software is completely written in ANSI-C. Required drivers, to adapt the software to the CAN controller and the target system, are offered as separate packages.

The analysis and diagnostic tools from IXXAT have been complemented by the new CBT2 and CANobserver, enabling an even easier analysis and monitoring of CAN networks during development, manufacturing and service.

The new CBT2 enables the fast and yet detailed analysis of the signal quality in CAN networks. Due to the various trigger modes and the integrated oscilloscope, errors can easily be analyzed and thus causes of errors can be detected and fixed quickly.

As of now, IXXAT delivers the CANobserver with an extended functionality.

The device is now able to automatically send e-mails to inform the user about faults within the communication system more quickly. This also enables to plan maintenance operations before system failures happen. Furthermore, the internal memory has been expanded by five times: Instead of the previous four, now the device comes with 20 data sets providing a storage capacity for up to 10 years. The third new feature is the SAE J1939 protocol support. Besides CAN, CANopen and DeviceNet, the CANobserver supports now also SAE J1939 systems.
