CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial data communications bus standard for transferring sensor data and control signals within vehicles during development or inspection. The 8910 CAN ADAPTER allows you to freely select signals on the CAN bus for conversion to analog and logic signals for recording and monitoring. Via the real-time output, monitor CAN signals on your own MEMORY HiCORDER or other data recorder. By using it with a recorder, you can capture and store CAN sensor data and control signals along with signals acquired from non-CAN-bus devices.

By connecting a Model 8841, 8842 or 8826 MEMORY HiCORDER to the 8910 CAN ADAPTER via RS-232C, the output channel and other settings can be made simply from the MEMORY HiCORDER screen. In addition, scaling and units can be set automatically by loading setting data for the 8910 from storage media (floppy diskette, PC Card or MO disc) or via RS-232C.
