CANstress is configured and controlled via a Windows operating program. The CAN parameters, the trigger sources, the disturbance sequences, and the values of the line resistors and the capacitor can be programmed. To enable bit field triggering, the data from the DBC database can be used. The user-defined configuration files are loaded into the CANstress module via the serial (RS-232/USB) interface. Then a new network analysis can be begun immediately.
