Programming a software for diagnosing SAE J1939

Question

I'm trying to program a software similar to this

Where could I find specific information on the programming language used, the required environment, etc?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are using the Vector CAN interfaces as the hardware, I suggest you review the Vector XL API, which you can use for free. Vector XL API is primarily intended to be used with the C# programming language.

Answer 2

You can use different hardware devices and create your code in visual studio or other vendor applications such as CANoe or CANAlyzer.

Hardware: PCAN Kvazer IXXAT USB-to-CAN FD CANcase VN1610 or create your own CAN to USB gateway design. All the available hardware supports different development platforms so it will depends on how much time/money you want to expend.

Answer 3

If you have some money to spend, check out the PCAN-USB device. Using this device you can write your own program using their API, which is supported on most major languages, or getting a license for their PCAN-Explorer software whichever you prefer. I believe versions 5.4 and up have a J1939 plugin that you can get.
