diCAN is a free, open-source CAN bus analyser for DSD TECH SH-C3x USB-CAN adapters. It also works with standard CANable 1.0 and 2.0 adapters. Plug in an adapter, pick a bit rate and a bus mode, and you are on the bus.

2. DSD TECH SH-C31x series (SH-C31A/C31G)

REQUIRES APPLE SILICON
diCAN is built for Apple Silicon only. It does not run on Intel Macs. macOS 12 or later.
TWO VIEWS OF THE SAME TRAFFIC
- An aggregated table with one row per CAN ID: frame count, period and recently changed payload bytes highlighted.
- A raw frame stream, every frame in the order it arrived.
TRANSMIT
- A transmit queue with any number of rows, each with its own ID, payload, period and repeat count.
- Classic frames, CAN FD, CAN FD with bit-rate switch, and remote frames.
FILTER, RECORD, EXPORT
- Host-side id:mask filters, applied to the display. Changing a filter never discards frames already captured.
- Record frames to a local database, then export to CSV or PEAK .trc for other tools.
HONEST ABOUT THE ADAPTER IN FRONT OF YOU
- diCAN asks the adapter what it can do and offers only that: CAN FD, listen-only and loopback appear only on firmware that supports them.
- An adapter that is plugged in but not usable is still listed, with what it is and what to do about it.
- A session log records connection events and reports from the adapter.
NINE INTERFACE LANGUAGES
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, switched from the menu.
REQUIREMENTS
- One of the adapters listed above.
- A Mac with Apple Silicon, macOS 12 or later.
