To demonstrate the process, we set up an Intrepid neoVI FIRE 2 to transmit two messages on
the HS CAN channel using one copy of Vehicle Spy:
•
A regular CAN message with an 11-bit Arbitration ID and 8 bytes of data, transmitted at
a rate of one message every 250 ms.
•
A CAN FD message with a 29-bit Arbitration ID and 16 bytes of data, transmitted every
500 ms.
To monitor this traffic, we then need only follow these steps:
1. Start a Second Instance of Vehicle Spy:
Launch Vehicle Spy a second time. The two
copies of the program will run independently, allowing us to view on this new instance
what is being sent from the other one.
2. Select the RAD-Galaxy:
On the
Logon Screen
, select the RAD-Galaxy as the device to
be used for monitoring.
3. Go Online.
That’s all that is required: Vehicle Spy will automatically switch to
Messages View
and show
the messages coming into the RAD-Galaxy. However, let’s add a couple of additional steps to
make it easier to see what we are interested in here.
4. Show Only HS CAN Messages:
You may have traffic from other networks, such as the
Ethernet channels, coming into the display at the same time. For now let’s only look at
HS CAN traffic by clicking in the checkmark column in the left-hand Filter area next to
HS CAN
.
5. Enter Scroll Mode:
By default Vehicle Spy will start in static mode, grouping together
messages with the same Arbitration ID. To show the messages in chronological order,
press the
button, located near the top left of
Messages View
.
After completing these steps, we obtain the result shown in . Notice that we have two CAN
messages for every CAN FD (since they are being transmitted at a faster rate) as well as the
extended data display for the CAN FD messages.
