PCAN Tools 3.4

PCAN Tools by Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH (HBM) is a practical software suite for working with Controller Area Network (CAN) data in test and measurement environments. It helps engineers monitor live bus traffic, decode messages using signal databases, log and analyze data, and troubleshoot communication issues across lab, bench, and in-vehicle setups. Designed to complement HBM workflows, it streamlines validation and correlation of CAN signals with physical measurements.

Key capabilities:

• Real-time CAN bus monitoring with configurable filtering and signal views
• Message decoding using database files (e.g., DBC) for readable signals and units
• Data logging with precise timestamps and export to common formats such as CSV
• Playback and comparison of recorded traces for regression and diagnostics
• Error detection and basic diagnostics to identify bus and message issues
• Flexible channel setup to quickly adapt to different networks and projects
• Clean, task-focused interface for fast setup and efficient operation

Ideal for test engineers, application specialists, and technicians who need a reliable, easy-to-use tool to observe, record, and interpret CAN communication as part of measurement and validation workflows.
