PCAN-Diag FD Editor Version History

2026-02-11 - Version 1.3.0

Improvements:

Added the ability to create and edit CAN transmit and sequence lists. With this improvement, PCAN-View is not needed anymore for the PCAN-Diag FD and was removed from the product download package.

Bug fixes:

A wrong DLC was used when converting transmit multiplexer symbols. Now the largest DLC is used.
CAN messages of transmit and sequence lists were not loaded correctly and could not be modified if the data length was 64
Minor text corrections and optimizations
The default bit rate lists have been updated

Please note: Downloadable only via the PCAN-Diag FD package. This software is not distributed individually.

Improvements:

Added the J1939 settings and management for custom PGs
Improved keyboard input to change dropdown properties directly with keyboard input
The start image 'intro_vert.bmp' is now also transferred if it is in the project directory

Bug fixes:

Once the Device Info window was displayed, the output for attaching or removing devices stopped working afterwards
The bit rates definition file 'bitrates.ini' next to the application was used and transferred even if a file existed in the project directory
The Output tabs had the wrong color
An incorrect help topic was opened for the Output window
The Output window had the input focus at startup
Under certain circumstances, selecting a tab via the context menu opened the wrong tab
The F1 key did not open a help topic for the Symbols tab if the Target Format drop-down list was active
Some text corrections in the XML files and the online help

Improvements:

Supports new INI files with CAN bit rates that can optionally contain names for nominal data bit rates
Some values have been added and corrected in 'Settings' and 'Measurements'
The CAN bit rates have been adjusted
Enums with value ranges and user defined minimum and maximum values of Variables/Signals can now be used with Symbols files

Bug fixes:

When starting the software from the SD card of the PCAN-Diag FD, an error message 'Bitrates.ini not found' was displayed
When using Symbols files, default values of float and double Variables/Signals and signals with a length of more than 64 bits were not interpreted correctly
The CAN bit rate presets were not sorted correctly

Changes:

The user-specific combination of nominal and data bit rates has been removed from the user interface

Improvements:

Bug fixes:

CAN FD Symbols with a data length of more than 8 data bytes were not converted correctly
