[[!meta title="CANmonitor (Java based CAN bus analyze and test tool)"]]

CANmonitor is focused primarily on accessand manipulation of CANopen devices
objects dictionaries. It uses [[VCA|vca]] based CANblaster daemon for physical
CAN bus access. TCP connection (CPickle protocol) is used for communication between
CANmonitor and CANblaster. This allows to use CANmonitor even from distant location
far from industrial plant location. CANopen SDO access state machine is implemented
in CANblaster which allows OD access from multiple CANmonitor, [[QCANalyzer|qcanalyzer]]
and other tools and control tasks in parallel.

CANmonitor allows even basic listing of raw CAN messages and simple
test messages sending.

The submodule holding CANmonitor sources is part of main OrtCAN sources
GIT tree. The build is enabled by

    CONFIG_OC_CANMONITOR=y

included in the top level config.omk file. Java language development
environment and ANT tool are required for CANmonitor build.
