1 Overview
1.1 CAN Editor Overview
CAN Editor is application software for setting CAN signal measurements and output of the Logger to
which the CAN Unit is connected. The following operations can be performed when the CAN Unit is
set.
• Measures the CAN signals using the Logger.
• Sends a signal to the CAN bus from the Logger.
• Sends data measured using the Logger to the CAN bus (data measured with a plug-in module).
1.2 Settings and Measurement Procedure
The settings and measurement procedure are shown below.
(1) Check the CAN settings on the Logger and start measurement.

10 Knowledge and Information
10.1 Load Factor of the Measured Value Output Mode
The load factor is a ratio of the current number of frames of CAN Editor to the number of frames that
can be transmitted on the CAN bus.
It is expressed by “Number of frames to be transmitted on the CAN bus / Number of frames that can
be transmitted on the CAN bus × 100”.
Set the load factor to be approximately 50%.
The load factor indicates a value for when only CAN frames that are output from the CAN Unit exist on
the CAN bus. The load factor may drop if there is CAN output from other equipment or an error occurs
in the CAN bus.
10.1.1 Number of frames that can be transmitted on the CAN bus
It is calculated from the interface, baud rate, data rate, and ID (standard/extended).
Example:
The number of frames that can be transmitted on the CAN bus in the above example is approximately
24,000 [frame/s].
10.1.2 Data volume to be transmitted on the CAN bus
The data volume is affected by the update interval of the output source unit, number of output
channels, and correlation between the output channels and IDs.
Example:
One output channel assigned to one ID
The number of frames to be transmitted on the CAN bus in the above example is approximately
15,000 [frame/s].
The load factor is approximately 62.5% (15,000/24,000).

10.2 Channel Type of the Receive Mode
10.2.1 When the channel type is set to Data
When Data is selected as the channel type for the receive mode, the data of the specified
requirements is collected upon the start of CAN Unit recording and the received data is recorded until
the sampling time is expired. If data is not received at all, 0 is recorded. Unlike ID count, the data
value is not received at the data refresh interval. If data of the same conditions is received twice or
more within the single data refresh interval, the most recent data is reflected on the recorded value.
The example of data of ID 1 and ID 2 is shown below.
For ID 1, data “C” is received within the data refresh interval after data “A”, however, only data “C” is
recorded in the LR8450 unit.
Data
(ID:1)
Data
(ID:2)
10.2.2 When the channel type is set to ID count
When ID count is selected as the channel type for the receive mode, the number of times the
specified ID is received at every data refresh interval for the CAN Unit is recorded. When the data
refresh interval is set to 2 seconds or more, the ID count may become 0 since the time period over the
specified data refresh interval cannot be secured before the first sample after the start of
measurement.
The example of ID count of ID 1 and ID 2 is shown below.
The number of times the specified ID is received within a certain time period can be checked and
recorded depending on the ID count value.
The counter is reset to 0 at every data refresh interval for the CAN Unit.

(ID:1)
ID count
(ID:2)

HIOKI SF1002A961-00
10.2.3 Examples of usage
(1) Using the specific ID received as a trigger or warning
The measured value of the measurement channel for which a channel type ID count has been
performed can be set as a trigger/warning source like normal measurement channels. The measured
value can be used to output signals to external equipment as a trigger for measurement start or
warning when the specific ID is received.
(2) Checking the data update on the CAN bus
When the channel type is set to Data, the final data received after recording starts is retained until the
measurement is stopped. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish a case in which CAN data is
continuously received when CAN communication is stopped in the middle. When ID count is also
used, the above case can be distinguished based on the ID count receiving count.
10.3 User Frame Transmission Operation
10.3.1 Relationship between user frame No. and number of frames
For user frame transmission, CAN frames of up to 64 conditions by combinations of the user frame
No. and the number of frames can be output. The transmission order of each frame is as follows.
(1) When 8 frames are set for user frame No. 1
After frame 1 is sent, frame 2 and other frames up to frame 8 are sent in the same manner.
At least a 10 ms delay is required between the frames.
(2) When 1 frame is set for user frames No. 1 to No. 8
After user frame No. 1 is sent, user frame No. 2 and other frames up to user frame No. 8 are sent in
the same manner.
When the delay is set to 0 ms, the user frames are sent without any delay.
10.3.2 Relationship between scheduled send ON and number of frames
When the scheduled send setting is ON, all frames set in the user frame No. are sent and then the
frames are repeatedly sent at the same condition according to the send interval setting.
(1) When schedule send is ON and 1 frame is set
One set frame is sent periodically at the send interval.
(2) When schedule send is ON and 8 frame is set
After frame 1 is sent, frame 2 and other frames up to frame 8 are sent in the same manner.
After the time set for the send interval has elapsed, the frames are sent starting with frame 1.
10.3.3 Output stop conditions
When the timing is not set to Stop, transmission of user frames of all conditions is stopped when
measurement of LR8450 (-01) is stopped.
When the timing is set to Stop, one frame is sent for each user frame No. and transmission of user
frames is stopped.

10.4 Counting the Bit Position
In the data frame, the position of the lowest bit (LSB) of the start byte data is 0. The value increases
one by one towards the highest bit (MSB) position.
When the bit position reaches MSB, it moves onto the next byte data and the value increases one by
one from the LSB position to the MSB position like the first byte (bite 0).
The data frame size is a maximum of 64 bytes (512 bits).

Data arrangement ([Byte order])
Even when the data start position ([Start bit]) is the same as the bit length ([Length]), the data
position (eject) varies depending on the data arrangement set by Motorola or Intel.
When the bit length is set to 10 bits and the data start position (LSB position) is set to bit 16, the data
in the blue colored cells of the following tables is captured.
Motorola
Intel
For the following 16 bit data, when the value of byte 0 is FF and the value of byte 1 is 00, the 16 bit
data is as follows.
Motorola: FF00 (Data start position: 8)
Intel: 00FF (Data start position: 0)
