Thanks again for the info... things are getting clearer!!
I'm not aware that my logging device uses any special higher protocol, (which means it probably does and I'm unaware of it!?
(
I have connected various CAN devices to it in the past and it logs ok.
When connecting it, we use 3 wires, CAN-Hi, CAN-Lo and GND
(It logs data as a graphical representation of the input channels with something like 0-65000 as a range, we then calibrate it back to the sensor reading in the software).
The company does not give much info about the CAN system.. all I've found so far is this....
--------
Both CAN Lines on the Logger can be used with different baud rates, bit timing and identifier size (11bit/29bit). This allows the user to connect to any CAN bus device or only to double the total CAN bus load by running additional sampling modules on two CAN lines.
The integrated routing function allows the User to route data from one CAN line to the other CAN line.
The Logger 6 generation does NOT have any limitation on the maximum recordable CAN Identifiers. The Logger is able to record the full CAN Bus data from 2 CAN Lines into the memory.
All channels can be configured individually for different sampling rates in a
range from 6.25 up to 1600 Hz.

Thanks..
