CanBus Transmission to Haltech Elite ECU

Connectivity RealDash CAN
21

Hi, I have a Seeed USB-CAN Analyzer V8.00 and I want to use it with RealDash on Android via USB OTG.

Is it necessary to configure the USB-CAN Analyzer in Listen Only / Quiet Mode when using it with RealDash, or can I leave it in Normal Mode?

I only want to read/monitor CAN data from my vehicle.

Also, can RealDash transmit any CAN data or CAN frames to the vehicle’s CAN network, either automatically or as part of its normal operation?

If I only configure RealDash to receive/read CAN data and do not configure any CAN outputs or transmit messages, can I safely use the V8.00 in Normal Mode?

Thank you!

No, you can use this adapter in Normal mode. It then becomes a ‘real’ CAN device in the network.

Yes, any value defined in CAN connection XML will be transmitted to CAN bus if value changes by trigger/action system. Additionally you can mark your frame with ‘writeInterval’ to write it to CAN bus constantly.

Yes it is safe to use the adapter in normal mode if you do not specify frames that are written. To make sure, you can use ‘readOnly’ attribute in CAN frame spec on the XML.
