CANtrace3

CANtrace3 is a professional CAN bus monitoring and analysis tool developed by TK Engineering Oy. It helps engineers and technicians observe, record, and understand CAN network traffic in real time, streamlining development, validation, and troubleshooting across automotive, industrial, and maritime applications.

Key capabilities:

• Real-time monitoring and logging of CAN messages with precise timestamps
• Decoding of frames into human-readable signals using industry-standard databases (for example, DBC, J1939, and CANopen object dictionaries)
• Flexible filtering, searching, and triggering to isolate relevant traffic
• Visual tools such as live signal views, trend plots, and bus-load statistics
• Transmission of individual frames or message sequences for simulation and testing
• Detection and reporting of error frames and communication anomalies
• Import/export of log files for collaboration and reporting, with options for customizable views

Designed for clarity and efficiency, CANtrace3 offers an intuitive interface and broad interface compatibility, helping teams shorten debugging cycles, validate network behavior, and ensure reliable system performance. Support for classical CAN is standard; CAN FD support may be available depending on configuration.
