+[[!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.
