The FlexCard USB, robust and powerful, is a multifunctional USB interface device for faster analyzing and simple monitoring of CAN and FlexRay bus systems.

FlexRay

• Asynchronous monitoring mode allows listening without FlexRay synchronicity
• Combined asynchronous and synchronous monitoring mode (the procedure of a bus start-up can be monitored and registered exactly)
• Configurable Tx-acknowledges
• Network synchronicity will be reported immediately (with timestamp)
• Chronological correlation of bus messages with one timestamp base
• Firmware update directly at the user PC possible
• Extensive filter configuration available
• Significant bus error messages
• Triggering on the precise slot, cycle, channel and on various error states
• Start-up communication controller

CAN

• Silent mode useable for listening without bus interference
• Transmit FIFO up to 512 messages
• Configurable Tx-acknowledges
• Significant bus error messages

Interfaces

• USB 2.0 PC interface
• Display with LEDs
• Trigger
