Overview
CAN (Controlled Area Network) is an asynchronous, 2-wire serial communication protocol. CAN is a vehicle bus standard that is designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without the need to have a host controller. CAN is well suited for the automotive industry. Its simple 2-wire interface simplifies IC design with fewer pins and smaller packages, thus reducing the board space and cost. The collision detection and arbitration methods defined in CAN help to perform proper communication without errors and issues, making it a reliable protocol interface.
As a part of product validation, it’s important to validate the product’s conformance against the protocol specification to ensure its interoperability. As the complexity of the protocol and product increases, the validation time of the protocol interfaces also increases, which, in turn, reduces the RTM. Performing the protocol conformance testing traditionally needs a lot of time and effort.
Soliton’s CAN Protocol Validation Tool is an off-the-shelf validation tool using NI’s PXI Platform, which helps validate the device’s compliance with the timing and electrical specifications of the CAN protocol. The tool can also validate the device’s tolerance to and recovery from various CAN faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. Users have claimed that using this automated solution for CAN Protocol Validation has brought down the test time/ validation time from a few days to a few hours.

FAQ
What else can I do with NI's PXI chassis/modules?
The PXIe-657x module is a general-purpose programmable pattern generator and acquisition device with deep memory. It can be used for other protocol validation tools from us. Also, it can be programmed using LabVIEW or other programming languages to emulate any synchronous digital protocol. NI’s PXI chassis supports high bandwidth and synchronization-friendly control and read back from a huge variety of digital, analog, and special-purpose modules in a compact form factor.
Which oscilloscope models are supported?
The Protocol Validation Suite supports any NI scope by default. The tool has a flexible architecture that allows the support of other oscilloscope models. We can help you in building the oscilloscope plugin for one of your oscilloscopes.
What type of documentation and training will be available for each solution?
User manuals, Getting started guides, and tutorial videos are available for each solution and can be easily accessed from within the product. Additionally, we will provide short live training sessions upon request.
Can the tool be used for out-of-the-box validation?
Yes, The tool comes with out of box test scripts which can be used for validation after entering the device-specific details
