5. CAN bus tools
5.1 Analysis tools
To analyze the frames passing through a data bus, you can use a digital oscilloscope, with some oscilloscopes featuring a CAN interface that directly displays the decoded frame they capture. More user-friendly and less expensive is the use of a PC equipped with a hardware interface (e.g. a CAN-USB adapter) and network analysis software.
Wireshark is the world's most widely used free, open-source network analyzer. It covers over 1,500 protocols and has benefited from expert contributions since its creation by Gerald Combs in 1998. Features include:
multi-platform: Unix, Linux, MS Windows, Mac OS ;
online or offline analysis via a graphical interface or via the TShark utility...

Websites
The international association CiA (CAN in Automation) was founded in 1992 to promote the use and development of the CAN network by providing information and expertise on its techniques, products and marketing. Annual membership costs €550 ex VAT for educational establishments, and varies according to the size of the company (€700 for less than 10 employees, up to €9,900 for more than 100,000).
Events
Conventions, trade shows, symposia and study days are generally listed on the website of the non-profit association CAN in Automation (CiA). CiA is the international organization of users and manufacturers that develops and supports CAN-based upper-layer protocols. CiA organizes webinars and publishes a newsletter with various technical, commercial and regulatory information on the CAN bus.
