What is CANgate?
The dataTaker CANgate CAN to ASCII gateway filters and converts CAN (Controller Area Network) and GPS (Global Positioning System) data to serial ASCII data. It has been designed to capture the real-time data available on CAN and GPS networks (e.g. temperatures, RPM, brake/throttle settings, latitude, longitude, etc.) and pass that information on to either a dataTaker data logger or host computer system. Two CAN interface ports are included, which allow connection of two independent CAN networks. CANgate’s versatile configuration options allow you to select the parameters of interest, apply statistical functions (average, minimum, maximum) and control the format in which data are returned. CANgate supports widely used protocols such as ISO-15765 and SAE-J1939, as well as raw CAN frames. Many CAN networks are used in vehicle and marine applications where positional information can be an important part of the data collected. CANgate includes a GPS interface to allow integration of the pos
