What special equipment is required for functioning of the program?

No special hardware is required for the software to work. You will need a computer, an ECU and a J2534 standard connection cable. To work with CAN FD, a BUSMUST adapter, made in China, is used. These adapters can work both on a conventional high-speed bus and on the CAN FD bus, which makes them a full-fledged replacement for J2534 interfaces.

Is it possible to use the basic version not only with Airbag SRS units, but also with other ECUs of the vehicle?

At the moment we are focused on writing modules for Airbag SRS units, however, the basic version of the program allows the incorporation of self-developed modules aimed at work with other electronic control units of the car. The list of modules is constantly growing. Modules with extended functions are to be released in the nearest future. We are ready to cooperate with professionals of ECU data processing, those who are interested in creating new modules.

Where are the modules located?

The modules are located in the program root folder (where the program is installed).
By default  it’s «C:\Program Files (x86)\CAN Tracer FD\». SRS (airbag) modules are located in the SRS folder.

What’s the directory of the log file?

From version 1.475 log files are located in
"Users\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Cantracer"
directory. The file named CanTracer_<currentdatetime>.log.


Old versions of the program log file «CanTracer.log»  is located in the root directory of the installed program (by default in «C:\Program Files (x86)\CAN Tracer FD\»). If the log file has not been created, run the program with Administrator rights.
