Training CAN and PCAN-Explorer

We want to help you getting started in the world of the CAN bus - in this case with a practical training that imparts both fundamental knowledge on the CAN bus in general as well as the work with our CAN analysis software PCAN-Explorer.

The training is designed for two days. The theory is changed gradually to the practice. A CAN bus is built up and connects computers of the participants and a microcontroller circuitry. The analysis of CAN traffic is done using fully functional trial licenses of PCAN-Explorer to be installed on the computers.

The intended audience are newcomers to the CAN matter and to the PCAN-Explorer who want to know what is happening on the CAN bus.
