How to Use the Komodo CAN Duo Interface as a Simulation Tool

Did you know that with the Komodo CAN Duo Interface you can record activity on the bus and export the trace in a format that allows you to edit and make modifications?

Once you've done that, you can replay the modified data to simulate changes to your system. We wanted to make sure you were aware of this unique feature of our CAN tool. This feature is specific to the Komodo CAN Duo Interface given that it is a two-channel device.TotalPhase-Komodo-CAN-Duo_1.jpg

To use this feature, connect your Komodo CAN Duo Interface to your CAN system and to your analysis PC. Launch both the Data Center Software and the Komodo GUI Software. Connect to the device in both pieces of software. Due to the dual channels on the Komodo interface it is able to connect to both the Komodo GUI and Data Center Software simultaneously.

In the Data Center Software, start the capture. Then in the Komodo GUI configure the data you want to send in Active CAN Mode or using our Activity Board connect to the Activity Board mode and hit Play. As data is sent across the CAN bus via the Komodo GUI, the Data Center Software is passively monitoring and capturing all of the CAN data.

Once you have collected the information you want to replay, hit Stop in both pieces of software. In the Data Center Software, export the data to a Komodo GUI Batch File (.kba). This creates an editable file that you change modify and load into the Komodo GUI Software via Batch Mode to replay data on the system. This allows you to simulate changes on your system.
