The dSPACE Bus Navigator provides intuitive access to automotive buses and networks. It offers a cost-effective solution for typical test and development tasks.
It enables monitoring and logging communication on CAN, Ethernet, and LIN buses. The Bus Navigator provides features for replaying logged CAN and Ethernet communication and is able to create instruments for handling CAN, LIN, and Ethernet messages, frames, and PDUs. An import function for state-of-the-art communication matrices is included as well as functions for manipulating messages, frames, and PDUs before transmission or excluding them from being transmitted. Especially for Ethernet, the dSPACE Bus Navigator includes a Wireshark® plug-in to enable the decoding of Ethernet traffic including the protocol stack.
The Bus Navigator supports standard platforms, such as dSPACE SCALEXIO systems, dSPACE VEOS, PC bus interfaces by dSPACE, Vector Informatik, and Kvaser as well as Ethernet interfaces of PCs (including loopback).
