CanEasy

Software-based residual bus simulation and analysis tool
for CAN, CAN FD, LIN and Automotive Ethernet

Learn more about the PC interfaces supported by CanEasy Ixxat PC Interfaces for CAN (FD) and LIN.

CanEasy is a Windows-based analysis and test environment for CAN (FD), LIN and Automotive Ethernet. The tool simulates the bus traffic, has a high degree of automation, can be easily configured and extended with the help of plug-ins. CanEasy can be used throughout the development process, from testing to commissioning.

With CanEasy real and simulated electronic control units [ECUs] communicate via different buses according to the communication matrix [residual bus simulation]. It supports UDS and XCP/CCP diagnostic functions and the reading of CDD, ODX/PDX, ELF, A2L and MAP files. Trace files such as ASC/LOG and BLF can be imported directly for analysis. Due to the automatically generated panels, the high level of automation and programmability, CanEasy can be used very quickly and flexibly. It saves effort, time and costs compared to common development tools.
