Summarized tests
4 Summarized
tests
The summarized tests are intended for the routine execution and repetition of the
tests of CAN networks. The user receives test instructions before the test. When
the CANcheck has checked the test result, the user receives one of the messages:
•
TEST PASSED
•
TEST FAILED
With some tests the CANcheck cannot check the test result because there are no
generally valid nominal values for it. This applies to the cable length, the power
supply, the baudrate and the bus load. After these tests the user receives the
message:
•
TEST EXECUTED
As soon as the user has acknowledged one of these messages, the test is contin-
ued.
Tests with the CAN network switched off are executed with the menu item "Line
parameters". With these tests it is checked whether the CAN network was cor-
rectly installed.
Tests with the CAN network switched on are executed with the menu item "Oper-
ating parameters". With these tests it is checked whether the nodes in the CAN
network are working correctly.
4.1 Line
parameters
To test the line parameters, connect the CANcheck – if possible – where one of
the two termination resistors of the CAN network is located. With the aid of the
Y cable you can connect the CANcheck between the CAN network and the termi-
nation resistor.
From the system menu, start the tests of the line parameters by selecting the rele-
vant menu item and OK. With the keys UP and DOWN, move the selection bar
from menu item to menu item. Confirm your selection with the OK key. The se-
lected menu item becomes then the new header.
