The main unit is compact and lightweight for easy portability.
2. Ample output channels
The 8910 is equipped with ample output channels - 12 channels for
analog signal output and 24 bits for logic signal output.
3. Two independent input ports
Since CAN1 and CAN2 are independent, two networks with different
baud rates can be connected.
4. Automatic baud rate setting
Because the 8910 monitors the CAN bus and automatically sets the
baud rate, there is no need to manually set the baud rate. (Supported
baud rates are 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps, and 1 Mbps.)
5. Detailed settings using a PC
Easy-to-use PC application software enables the detailed settings of
data to be acquired from a CAN bus.
6. Observation with your existing recorder
The output signal level ranges from -5 to +5 V, and the value is held
until subsequent signal output. Therefor e, output from the 8910 can be
connected to an ordinary recorder. Thus, you can observe CAN
signals by connecting the 8910 to your existing recorder.
7. Real-time output
CAN signals are converted into analog/logic signals and output in real
time.
8. Mixed recording
By using the 8910 with a recorder such as the Memory HiCorder,
"sensor data or control signal on CAN" and "signal that cannot be
acquired on CAN" can be recorded together.

2.3 Connection Procedure
2.3 Connection Procedure
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never connect the
connecting cables
• The ground (GND) conductors of connecting cables
in common to the Model 8910 chassis ground (they are not
isolated). Therefore, supplying power from different sources to
the instrument and a connecting device could cause electric
shock and equipment damage. To avoid these hazards, power
should always be supplied from the same source.
Even when power is supplied from the same source, as a result
of wiring, potential difference between grounds can result in
current flow through the connecting cable that could damage
the equipment. To avoid such hazards, we recommend
observing the following precautions for power connections:
*
of energized equipment to the 8910.
*
connect
*Connecting cables: Cables and connection cords being connected to the 8910.
Recommended Connection Procedures
(1) When powering the 8910 from the supplied AC adapter
Before connecting devices to the 8910, plug the (supplied) grounded
power cord of the AC adapter into the same outlet as that used to
power the devices to be connected.
(2) When powering the 8910 from a DC power source
Before making other connections, first connect the ground of the 8910
to the grounds of the devices to be connected. In this case, always
use the same power source.

2.3 Connection Procedure
(3) When powering the 8910 from the supplied AC adapter and
powering connecting devices from a DC source (or when
powering the 8910 from DC and connecting devices from AC)
Before making other connections to the 8910, first connect the ground
of the 8910 to the grounds of the devices to be conne cted. Refer to t he
following alternatives regarding common ground connection methods.
(a) Connect the grounds of devices running on DC power to the AC
adapter’s ground.
(b) Connect pin 3 (CAN_GND) of the 9713-01 CAN Cable to the
ground of the device to be connected.
Note: In method (b) above, because of wire length and CAN cable
wiring conditions, some potential difference may remain
between grounding points, so we recommend (a) as the
preferred method.

2.3 Connection Procedure
The following diagram shows the connection points of the cables and cords to
be connected to the 8910 CAN ADAPTER.
The instrument does not output signals (including response bits) to the CAN
bus. Therefore, when onl y one device connected to the bus in additio n to
the 8910, communication is not possible since response bits cannot be
exchanged. Therefore, be sure to connect the bus to which the 8910 is
connected with two or more devices to enable communication.
To prevent an electric shock accident, confirm that the white or
red portion (insulation layer) inside the cable is not exposed. If a
color inside the cable is exposed, do not use the cable.
Connecting to the Analog Output
1. Align the BNC connector with the guide groove of the unit output
connector, and turn clock wise while pressing in to lock the connector.
2. To remove from the instrument, turn the BNC connector
counterclockwise to release the lock, then pull it.

3.1 Modes
The 8910 has the following three operation modes, which can be
switched by using keys on the front panel.
23
Conversion mode
Setting mode
Calibration mode
3.2 Conversion Mode
• Conversion mode is the first mode to become active after power is
turned on.
• This mode converts the CAN message supplied to CAN1 or CAN2
port according to internally set definition data, and outputs the
converted signal from a specified analog or logic output terminal.
This mode converts the CAN signal input from
the CAN 1 or 2 port according to the set
definition data, and outputs the converted
signal from the specified analog or l ogic outpu t
terminal.
This mode is used to select data to be
acquired from the CAN bus and set the
channel for acquired data output.
This mode outputs a calibration signal.
When conversion mode is active, the LCD indicates the following:
• The 8910 monitors the CAN bus and adjusts the baud rate
automatically. Therefore, the instrument has already begun to
receive signal input from CAN1 or CAN2 at this point.
• When the CAN message assigned to the output channel enters the
CAN port, the CAN LED goes on in green.
• The output voltage level is held until conversion of the next CAN
message.
• Four baud rates are supported: 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps, and 1
Mbps.

6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
6.2.3 Setting the data start position
The least significant bit (LSB) position of acquisition data is used to
specify its location in the CAN data frame.
The bit positions are numbered as follows:
1. As the reference position, the least significant bit (LSB) position of the
first byte of data in t he data f rame is given a value of 0. From there, t he
number is increased by one towards the most significant bit (MSB)
position.
2. From the MSB position, it moves to the next byte data, and the
number is incremented by one from the LSB toward the MSB.
3. Since the maximum size of the data frame section is 8 bytes (64 bits),
the MSB position in the 8th byte from the beginning is numbered 63.
Therefore, the bit positions can be expressed with numbers from 0 to
63, as shown below .
Example: 8-bit data in the second byte from the beginning is specified.
Since its least significant bit (LSB) position is Bit 0 in Byte 1, the bit positi on is 8.

The position of Bit 9 is the MSB
(most significant bit) position.
The position of Bit 25 is the MSB
(most significant bit) position.
6.2.4 Setting the data pattern
Here, the data pattern is set. Even if the data start position and data
length are the same, the data position (method of data acquisition)
varies depending on whether the data pattern is Motorola format or
Intel format.
Example: A data whose bit length is 10 bits and data start position (LSB position) is Bit 1 6.
55
The data pattern (method of data acquisition) is selected from the
following three systems:
U/L (Motorola)
L/U (Motorola)
Data is extracted according to Motorola format.
Data is extracted according to Motorola format,
then the high-byte and low-byte positions are
switched. This setting is effective when the data
length is from 9 to 16 bits. When the data length
is 8 bits or shorter, this setting function is the
same way as U/L (Motorola).
L/U (Intel)
Data is extracted according to Intel format.

6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
Example: In the 16-bit data shown in the diagram, when the value of Byte 0 is FF and the
value of Byte 1 is 00, the following value results according to the method used:
Value based on U/L (Motorola): FF00
Value based on L/U (Motorola): 00FF
Value based on L/U (Intel) : 00FF
(The data start position is 8 in Motorola format, and 0 in Intel for mat.)
6.2.5 Setting the sign
This is used to set whether the pertinent data has a sign.
Unsigned
1-Signed
2-Signed
When "with sign" is set in “positive
complement only interchanges 0 and 1 in binary notation, whereas
two's complement adds 1 after 0 and 1 are interchanged.
Example: Data with a data length of one byte
Without sign
With sign
(with negative number being one's complement)
With sign
(with negative number being two's complement)
→ negative" sign conversion, one's
Unsigned: 0 to +255 (00h to FFh)
1-Signed : -127 to +127 (80h to 7Fh)
2-Signed : -128 to +127 (80h to 7Fh)
-1 in 2-Signed is FFh, but -1 in 1-Signed results in FEh.
When the data length is 1 bit, only Unsigned can be selected.
Page 65
6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
6.2.6 Setting the signal name
A signal name with up to 40 characters can be assigned to data.
• Click the signal name input box, then enter a signal name.
• The signal name is useful for identifying data among other data
used in the condition setting program. A comment can be entered
as the signal name.
• When the 8910 CAN ADAPTER is used with the HIOKI 8826, 8841,
8842 MEMORY HiCORDER, the signal name can be transferred to
the 8826, 8841, 8842 MEMORY HiCORDER as comment data.
Spaces or commas cannot be used in a signal name.
57
6.2.7 Setting the label name
The label name must be set for each item of data since data is
distinguished by the label name on the 8910.
• Make sure that the same label name is not used twice.
• Up to 16 characters can be used in the label name. To enter a label
name, click the label name input box, then enter a name.
Spaces or commas cannot be used in a label name.
6.2.8 Setting the unit
Data can be attached with a unit of physical quantity with up to 8
characters.
• Click the unit input box, then enter a unit.
Spaces or commas cannot be used in an unit.
Page 66

Physical quantity = BitRate X Data value (Bit) + Offset
6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
6.2.9 Setting the scaling
• Data can be set with a physical quantity.
• Since the output voltage from the 8910 CAN ADAPTER is
determined by the data length setting, sign setting, and D/A output
setting, the setting value entered here is not reflected in the actual
output value.
• However, this setting is useful for understanding the possible range
of physical quantity of actual data.
• When the 8910 CAN ADAPTER is used with the HIOKI 8826, 8841,
8842 MEMORY HiCORDER, the scaling setting on the 8826, 8841,
8842 MEMORY HiCORDER side can be automatically adjusted
according to the value set here.
The conversion bit rate/of fset value or maximum value/minimum value
can be used to specify scaling. Select one of the two methods.
Specifying with conversion bit rate/offset value
Select the radio button next to [BitRate].

Set the [BitRate] and [Offset] value.
2
Based on the physical quantity per bit of ac quisiti on data and the offset
value, the physical quantit y can be expressed by the foll owing for mula:
Physical quantity per 1 bit of acquisition data
Offset value
Example: When the [BitRate] is set to 0.1 and [Offset] to 100 as
shown above, and the acquired data value is 500, the
physical quantity
Physical quantity = 500 x 0.1 + 100 = 150
Page 67
59
6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
When the [BitRate] or [Offset] is set, the [Maximum] and [Minimum]
values are automatically set based on the set values, data length
setting, and sign setting.
Specifying with maximum and minimum values
Select the radio button next to [Minimum].
1
Select the radio button next to [Minimum] when using the maximum
and minimum values to specify the scaling
Set the [Maximum] and [Minimum] value.
2
Set the [Maximum] and [Minimum] possible values of the data.
When the [Maximum] and [Minimum] value is set, the physical
conversion bit rate and offset value are automatically set based on the
set values, data length setting, and sign setting.

6.2 Editing the CAN Definition Data
6.2.10 Error Massage
If the CAN definition data settings are incorrect or conflicting, an error
message appears when the [OK] button is clicked.
If an error message appears, take the following corrective action:
If error message "Input please " appears
The message ID or label name input box (or both) i s b lank. Nei ther t he
message ID input box nor label name input box can be left blank. Be
sure to enter a setting in both boxes.
If error message "Bad Can define data!" appears
The data length, data start position, and data pattern settings
determine the location of acquisition data in the CAN data frame, but
current settings deviate from the range of the CAN data frame.
Example:
Data Length : 10 bits
Data start position: 0 (Bit 0 in Byte 0)
Data pattern : U/L (Motorola)
When the settings above are entered, the t wo high-order bit s are outside t he CAN data fr ame,
as shown below .
In this case, the problem can be corrected by changing the data length to 8 bits, data start
position to 14 (Bit 6 in Byte 1), or data pattern to L/U (Intel).
Confirm that the data length, data start position, and data pattern
settings do not cause any conflict.

7.2 Allocation to Output Channels
7.2.1 Setting analog output channels
The data to be acquired by the 8910 must be selected from items
registered in the 8910 registration list, and a channel must be selected
to output that data.
Select and click an item on the registration

list.
Selecting and clicking an item in the 8910 registration list highlights
the line selected.

section.
When the highlighted line is dragged and dropped onto a channel
section in the analog output allocation list, it is assigned to that output
channel.

After allocation is completed, the D/A conversion format setting dialog
box opens. Select bipolar or monopolar. This setting determines
whether the analog signal is output in a

±5 V range or 0 to 5 V range.
B(+/-)
M(+)
Double-clicking a registered channel can also set the D/A conversion
format. Therefore, the type of D/A conversion can be changed after
registering the data in the analog output allocation channel.
Bipolar...........Analog signal is output in ±5 V range.
Monopolar .....Analog signal is output in 0 to 5 V range.

7.2.3 Setting logic output channels
Logic output channels are set the same way as for analog output
channels.
❖Section 7.2.1, (75p.)
When assigned data is 2 bits or larger, the data is automatically
allocated so that the most significant bit is assigned to the channel
selected, with the rest allocated to the following channel.
Example 1: Data with label name [abc] and a data length of 5 bits assigned to Bit 1 in Ch A
is allocated as shown below.
77
In this example, if another signal is already allocated to 3 bits from Bit 2 to Bit 0 in Ch B, the
original signal only remains in Bit 0 in Ch B because overlapping bits are overwritten in one
bit units.
Example 2: Dragging and dropping data with a data lengt h of 3 bits to Bit 3 in Ch A.

7.3 Massage ID Trigger
• The message ID trigger outputs a pulse (H active) with a width of
100 μs from the logic channel selected when a specified ID
message is input.
• This is effective when using this instrument in combination with a
recorder with a trigger function.
Analog/logic output is held until the next CAN message is converted.
Therefore, setting the ID trigger does not allow you to obser ve the output
pulse even when a logic output is held H. In such case, turn off the power of
the 8910, then turn it back on and set the logic output to L before setting the
ID trigger.

7.3 Massage ID Trigger
7.3.1 Setting the message ID trigger
[ID_TRIGGER] located at the left-upper corner of the window is used
to set the message ID trigger.
Check the [ID_TRIGGER] box.

Checking the check box enables the trigger function.
Input the massage ID number.
2
When the trigger function is turned on, the no. of the message ID for
triggering signal output must be entered in the [M_ID] input box.
Example: Entering message ID100 outputs a signal from the logic
channel selected.
Deselecting the [ID_TRIGGER] check box deactivates the
message ID trigger function.
If communication with the 8910 is performed with the [ID_TRIGGER]
check box selected, but with no n umber enter ed in the [

7.3.2 Setting output channels
Multiple logic channels can be specified for ID trigger output.
Double-click a logic channel.
1
Double-clicking a logic channel to be specified as an output channel
changes the corresponding icon to red and sets the channel as an
output channel.
When a channel is set as an output channel, the icon changes to red.
Moreover, the signal name column shows [ID TRIGGER] and the label
name column indicates the message ID set as a trigge r. The Bit will be
fixed at 1.
• When a channel already assigned with output data is specified, that
channel outputs both the assigned data and ID trigger simultaneously.
When reliable dete ction of the ID trigger is important, select a channe l
without output data assigned.
• When the ID filter is enabled, the ID set with the ID trigger function is
filtered, thus disabli ng the ID trigger. (When the ID set with the ID tr igger
function is allocated to ano ther c hann el, i.e. , not tha t of the ID trig ger, the
ID trigger is enabled.)
Page 89
7.4 Setting the ID Filter
Individual input ports can be applied with a filter t o inhibit the reception
of messages other than those assigned to the output channels.
• The filter results in the acquisition of standard format or extended
format only.
• The filter can improve acquisition performance.
