PCAN-View Version History

07.03.2012 - Version 3.2.0.212

Improvements:

  • New Comment column in the Transmit list
  • Error Generator (PCAN-USB Pro):  The entered CAN-ID is always converted to Hex when leaving the edit field
  • The position of a message in the Transmit list can be changed by pressing [Ctrl+Arrow Up] / [Ctrl+Arrow Down]

Bug fixes:

  • The data bytes of selected transmit messages were not clipped to the data column if the column was too narrow
  • Connection dialog box: The bit rate of a selected hardware was not always shown correctly
  • The start time of a trace was not correctly written to the trace file

 

18.07.2011 - Version 3.1.5.200

Improvements:

  • The tracer will start automatically after establishing a connection if it was still active when the program was last exited

Bug fixes:

  • Messages that were transmitted on the same PCAN net by another application, and which were using the SingleShot CAN controller option, were not shown in the Receive list
  • Connection dialog box: If the channel number of a CAN hardware was higher than 2, the displayed channel number was not correct

 

17.03.2011 - Version 3.1.4.195

Bug fixes:

  • After the user interface language was changed from German to English, an Access Violation could occur when exiting the program
  • After deleting messages from the Transmit list, the entire list content was sometimes shifted to the left so that the ID column was no longer visible

 

08.03.2011 - Version 3.1.3.194

Bug fixes:

  • When using the "Windows Classic" design under Windows Vista or later an error occurred every time the application showed a message box
  • The Tracer stored an incorrect start time in the trace file

 

01.02.2011 - Version 3.1.2.193

Improvements:

  • New menu command File->Language->Automatic
  • If an 11-bit filter range was set, PCAN-View also received messages with IDs outside the selected ID range
  • A warning message is shown before the 5V output is activated on the CAN connector of a PCAN-PC Card, PCAN-ExpressCard, or PCAN-USB Hub
  • The data bytes of CAN messages in the Receive and Transmit list are now shown with fixed width characters to prevent horizontal jitter when the data changes rapidly

Bug fix:

  • PCAN-USB Pro: The labels for the maximum and minimum bus load indicators were interchanged

 

21.10.2010 - Version 3.1.1.186

Improvements:

  • Under Windows 2000, or under Windows XP and later if using the "Windows Classic" design, the toolbar was painted with a style that looked out of place
  • If the PCAN tools "PCAN Status Display" or "PCAN Nets Configuration" are found in the same directory where PCAN-View is located, a new menu "PCAN Tools" is shown that offers quick access to these tools

Bug fix:

  • The trace mode indicator on the Trace tab was not painted correctly under Windows 2000 or under Windows XP and later if using the "Windows Classic" design

 

13.10.2010 - Version 3.1.0.182

Improvements:

  • The user interface language can be switched between English and German
  • The number of QXMTFULL errors that have occurred for cyclic transmit messages is displayed in the Status bar (requires PCAN driver version 3.5.2 or later)

Bug fixes:

  • When sending messages manually, transmit errors were not processed and displayed, e.g. QXMTFULL
  • After re-connecting PCAN-View, the error counters "Overrun" and "QXmtFull" in the Status bar were not set to 0

 

23.09.2010 - Version 3.0.9.160

Improvements:

  • If a connected PCAN hardware is plugged out, the connection indicator in the Status bar is updated to show the correct (internal) hardware icon
  • All labels "Baud rate" changed to "Bit rate"

Bug fix:

  • If a connected PCAN hardware was plugged out, after opening the Connect dialog box again a wrong PCAN net was indicated as the connected net

 

17.06.2010 - Version 3.0.8.157

  • Bug fix: Connect dialog box: An exception "List index out of bounds" occurred if a hardware was selected that already had another PCAN application to it, and which used a custom Bit rate setting

 

09.06.2010 - Version 3.0.7.155

  • Bug fix: Because of a repaint problem it could happen that incorrect values were shown for the data bytes of a CAN message. Clicking on the message with the mouse then displayed the correct values

 

02.06.2010 - Version 3.0.6.153

Bug fixes:

  • The Error Warning QOVERRUN was not recorded by the Tracer
  • Transmitted RTR messages were not recorded by the Tracer

Changes:

  • If tracing of Error Frames is activated, receiving of Error Frames is always enabled in the driver when starting the Tracer even if no hardware is plugged-in. If a hardware is plugged in during a recording, Error Frames can be recorded immediately without stopping and restarting the recording

 

26.05.2010 - Version 3.0.5.148

  • Improvements: New PCAN-ExpressCard tab with the possibility to control the 5V output on the CAN connector of a PCAN-ExpressCard

 

14.05.2010 - Version 3.0.4.146

  • Improvements: Identifying of CAN channels by flashing of the associated CAN LED can now also be performed for PCAN-USB hardware

 

22.04.2010 - Version 3.0.3.144

  • Improvements: New command Help->Device Driver Version that can be used to show information about the device driver that is currently in use

 

14.04.2010 - Version 3.0.2.140

Bug fix:

  • The hardware image on the PCAN-PC Card tab was missing.

Improvements:

  • Support for the PCAN-USB Hub hardware: Possibility to change the device number and to control the PWR-OUT output on pin 9 of the CAN connector
  • Hardware images of PCAN-USB and PCAN-USB Pro updated

 

06.04.2010 - Version 3.0.1.132

  • Bug fix: If the option Tracer->Log Data Frames was deactivated, no more data frames were shown in the Receive list

 

26.03.2010 - Version 3.0.0.130

Changes:

  • Only one PCAN-View for all devices: the Connection dialog box shows CAN hardware and nets (if available) from all devices (PCI, USB, PC Card, etc.)
  • Loading and saving of transmit lists
  • The messages in the Transmit list are stored in the Windows Registry when exiting the application and automatically restored when the program is started the next time
  • New possibility to record messages
  • Multiple messages can be selected in the message lists at the same time, and can be copied, cut, and pasted via the clipboard
  • Possibility to set the Device Number of PCAN-USB, PCAN-USB Pro, and PCAN-PC Card
  • The bus load measured by a PCAN-USB Pro hardware can be displayed
  • Programming of the PCAN-USB Pro error generator.
