DGE is pleased to offer a
number of tools for working with and testing vehicle
communications buses.
Baby-LIN
 The
Baby-LIN® is a PC to LIN-bus interface. It provides
communications with and control of devices on a LIN
network via the USB port on the PC.
The Baby-LIN can also function in standalone mode running
stored command sequences.
The Baby-LIN unit
utilizes a 32-bit microcontroller to handle all time
critical tasks including message scheduling and LIN-bus
protocol decoding.
The Baby-LIN is bundled
with the LINWorks software suite, which includes
several applications. An included DLL allows user
program control via the DLL-API. This API is easy to
use and provides LIN transmit and receive functions.
The Baby-LIN's LIN-bus
voltage range is 9-36 Volts. The LIN-bus is
electrically isolated from the USB-side, eliminating
interference between the PC and the vehicle electronics.
Flash-based firmware storage allows easy updates to
accommodate changes to the LIN-bus specification. For more information, check out the
datasheet.
CAN-Spy
 CAN-Spy®
is a compact and easy-to-use CAN-bus diagnostic and
simulation tool that dramatically speeds up and simplifies
the engineering process. Whether you are
troubleshooting a CAN-bus-related problem or developing a
new module for a CAN bus, CAN-Spy can prove invaluable.
While CAN-Spy can
transmit and display CAN messages, its real time-saving
characteristic is its ability to scale and display the
recorded data in engineering units with text names.
Tedious manual scaling and conversions are things of the
past. The tool can be used in a standalone mode or
can be configured using a PC via a RS-232 connection
with optional software. CAN-Spy messages are
capable of linking to real-world analog and digital I/O
via a DB-25 connector for real-time stimulus and
measurement. For more information, check out the

C-Spy RC
 Easily
configure your CAN-Spy tool from your PC with CSpy-RC.
This optional software allows access to the full
functionality of the CAN-Spy device from a PC, via an
RS-232 link. Setting up, saving, and loading
configurations are faster and easier than ever before,
saving you time and your project money.
This Windows software is used to configure all
operating modes of CAN-Spy including: Terminal,
Filter, Trigger, Instrument, Sender, Source, and Analog
Echo modes. Global settings, such as identifier
length and the baud rate of the CAN bus, may also be
configured with CSpy-RC. Modifications made to
configurations on the CAN-Spy tool can be saved on the
PC for easy retrieval.
C-Spy RC Plus
CSpy-RC Plus contains all
of the capabilities of CSpy-RC. In addition, the
software allows users to import DBC files in order to
view messages and signal names with all associated
information.
Selected signals and
messages may be dragged and dropped from a DBC file into
the Instrument function. CAN-Spy's Instrument
function allows for scaling and display of data in easy
to recognize engineering units. Start bit, length,
byte order, type, scale factor, offset, and units for
CAN-Spy are all set up automatically.
Messages can also be
Messages can also be
dragged from the DBC file and dropped into CAN-Spy's
Sender and Analog Echo functions. After all the
necessary setup is completed, the configuration may be
saved and downloaded to the CAN-Spy tool.
CAN-Spy CAN B to CAN
C Adapter
This
simple adapter allows the CAN-Spy tool to be used in low
speed fault tolerant CAN-B systems. The adapter
enables the transmission and reception of fault tolerant
CAN-B messages with CAN-Spy, which is designed for High
Speed CAN-C communications. The small external
adapter simply plugs into the DB-9 CAN C connector on the
top of the CAN-Spy tool. The CAN-B bus is then
connected to the open end of the adapter. For more
information, check out the
datasheet
Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool
Our Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool (BDT) is a portable test
system for a Hands Free Module (HFM) running in a
vehicle with a CAN B, CAN C, or J1850 bus system. The
BDT provides a set of diagnostic functions such as
trouble code retrieval, module data retrieval, and HFM
re-flash file transfer over a Bluetooth wireless link.
The BDT can also act as a phone simulator or a bus
monitor tool.
The BDT utilizes an iPAQ™
PDA in a rugged case with an external Bluetooth compact
flash (CF) card and serial CAN/J1850 bus interface
module (SJC) with appropriate interface cables. The BDT
simplifies the process of debugging an HFM system with
an easy to learn and use PDA touch screen system.
Detailed message displays and diagnostic session
logging enables the user to quickly determine and
document HFM system faults. View our
datasheet for more information.
J1850 Mini Flight Recorder
 This
popular communication bus tester allows engineers to
conveniently view and log J1850 bus traffic. Built
around a Palm PDA, the Mini Flight Recorder (MFR) is
small, lightweight, and easy to use. View our J1850
MFR
datasheet for more information.
