Com­pa­ring phy­si­cal lay­er CAN dia­gno­stic devices

You have pro­blems with your bus, in your sys­tem or at your customer’s site. You have to mea­su­re and stop gues­sing – what you need at this point is a dia­gno­stic device.

The mar­ket is con­fu­sing, they try to decei­ve with fal­se pro­mi­ses but giving no real com­pa­ri­son. We try it and compa­re the GEMAC devices. For this com­pa­ri­son, we take the three devices that do mea­su­re at the phy­si­cal lay­er. CANalarm has spe­cial fea­tures, which has not­hing to do with phy­sics and CAN­vi­si­on is as pro­to­col moni­tor working on logi­cal lay­er only. The­r­e­fo­re the­se two pro­ducts are not lis­ted in this comparison.

A table like this with fea­tures can only be some kind of hint. Fea­tures dif­fer from device to device, even when both of them have it. The­re may be a dif­fe­rent under­stan­ding of a fea­ture or a dif­fe­rent expec­ta­ti­on. Plea­se open a ticket within the sup­port area if the­re are spe­cial ques­ti­ons run­ning in your mind.

In this artic­le, we go even deeper into the ago­ny of choice and make recommendations.
