CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log 2.1 Manual Introduction CANcaseXL The CANcaseXL is a USB interface with a powerful 32 bit 64MHz microcontroller from ATMEL with ARM7 Core and two SJA1000 CAN controllers from Philips. It can process CAN messages with either 11-bit or 29-bit identifiers. It is also possible to receive and analyze Remote Frames without any limitations. The CANcaseXL is also capable of generating and detecting Error frames on the bus.
Manual CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log 2.3.1 USB Connector Description The CANcaseXL/log is connected to an USB port which also supplies the CANcaseXL/log in Interface Mode. 2.3.2 Binder Connector Description If the USB port is not capable of supplying the required 500 mA operating current, the CANcaseXL/log may be optionally supplied by an external power supply. The CANcaseXL/log provides a 3-pin Binder connector for this purpose.
CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log 2.5 Manual LED Display Description The CANcaseXL/log has three LEDs for each channel (Channel1 and Channel2). The LEDs indicate the direction of the message and any error frame that occurs: Rx Tx Err Meaning (( )) - - - (( )) - - - Active if messages are being received. Active if messages are being sent. (( )) Active if error events occur on the bus. Only in Logger Mode: Blinking LED means that the related channel is not „on bus“.
Manual 2.6 CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log Additional Features on CANcaseXL log 2.6.1 Operating Modes Description The CANcaseXL log supports two operating modes which can be switched by using the USB connection and power supply respectively: USB connection Req. ext. voltage supply Mode yes optional Interface / Logger configuration no yes Logger Interface Mode In Interface Mode, the CANcaseXL log operates as a CAN/LIN interface between a PC and the bus.
CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log Manual Status Data Meaning (( orange )) * Warning: The SD card contains less than 10% of free space. The logging is not stopped. * (( orange )) Warning: Critical data rate, but no messages are lost. The logging is not stopped. The LED state will change when the critical data rate decreases. * (( red )) Error: Too high data rate, messages are lost. The logging is not stopped but the LED state will not change till the device is rebooted.
Manual CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log 2.6.5 Battery Lifetime The CANcaseXL log is supplied with a lithium battery that has a typical durability of 5 years. It is responsible for the correct timing of the integrated clock. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 5.

Manual Common Features 4 Common Features In this chapter you find the following information: 4.1 Time Synchronization General Information Software Sync Hardware Sync © Vector Informatik GmbH page 20 Version 5.
Common Features 4.1 Manual Time Synchronization 4.1.1 General Information Time stamps and events Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or event sequences on a specific bus. Figure 1: Time stamps of two CAN channels in CANalyzer. Generating time stamps Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accurate time stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network interface.
Manual Common Features Figure 3: Example of unsynchronized network interfaces. Independent time stamps drift apart. To compensate these time stamp deviations between the Vector network interfaces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software or by hardware (see next section). Note: The accuracy of the software sync is typically in range of 100 µs. Note: The accuracy of the hardware sync is typically in range of 1 µs. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 5.
Common Features Manual 4.1.2 Software Sync Synchronization by software The software time synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications without any restrictions. The time stamp deviations from different Vector network interfaces are calculated and synchronized to the common PC clock. For this purpose no further hardware setup is required. Figure 4: Time stamps of devices are synchronized to the PC clock (accuracy in range of 100 µs).
Manual Common Features 4.1.3 Hardware Sync Synchronization by hardware A more accurate time synchronization of multiple devices is provided by the hardware synchronization which has to be supported by the application (e. g CANalyzer, CANoe). Therefor two Vector network interfaces can be connected with the SYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, article number 05018). Figure 6: SYNCcableXL to synchronize two devices over 3-pin connector (Binder type 711).
