PCANopen Inspector is a complete professional grade CANopen® node testing and analysis package. Create detailed information on capabilities, performance and limits of CANopen® nodes!

By running a suite of configurable tests, the performance and reliability of a CANopen® node may be determined. Multiple aspects of the performance of the node may be measured under different situations with and without simulated background traffic and warnings or errors generated when specific user configurable conditions occur. In addition, automated test modes allow PCANopen Inspector to find the limits of a node's performance, allowing precise characterization of the node.

The CAN in Automation Performance Test (CiA TR-308) is implemented in PCANopen Inspector, providing a standardized means of testing nodes.
