Communication Settings

Configure communication settings for connected MicroPeckerX in the Device Window.
Always configure this before starting monitoring.

Basic Operation

The communication setup flow is as follows.

  1. Open Device Window
    Select Device Window from the menu or toolbar.
Device Window
  1. Select target channel
    Click a connected channel (Ch1-1 / Ch1-2) and the Protocol Setting area switches to communication settings.
    When connecting MicroPeckerX to multi-channel CAN buses, configure each channel individually.

  2. Baudrate settings
    In the Baudrate tab of Protocol Setting, you can select CAN bus baud rate and sample point from presets.
    Payload settings are available only for CAN FD.

Protocol Setting - Baudrate tab
  1. Ack response and terminator settings
    In the Other Setting tab of Protocol Setting, you can set Ack response from MicroPeckerX and terminator ON/OFF.
Protocol Setting - Other Setting tab

Communication settings are now complete.

Protocol SettingDisplays selected channel information.
Baudrate/Other Setting tab switchSwitches Protocol Setting display between Baudrate and Other Setting.
Arbitration (note1)BaudrateSets communication baud rate. Select from:
1 M, 500 k, 250 k, 125 k [bps]
Sample PointSets sample point. Select from:
60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 [%]
Payload (CAN FD Only) (note2)BaudrateSets communication baud rate for CAN FD payload. Select from:
5 M, 4 M, 2 M, 1 M, 500 k [bps]
Sample PointSets sample point. Select from:
60, 70, 80 [%]
Default All buttonSets Protocol Setting of target channel to default values.
Defaults are:
- Arbitration: Baudrate 500 kbps, Sample Point 80%
- Payload (CAN FD Only): Baudrate 2 Mbps, Sample Point 80%

note1: Available Sample Point combinations vary by Baudrate.
note2: Valid for CAN FD. Payload Baudrate/Sample Point combinations vary depending on Arbitration Baudrate.
