We recommend to review the CANmod Docs Configuration section for a detailed outline.

Below is a short step-by-step and video:

• Connect the CANmod via USB to your PC
• Open the CANmod config editor (link above)
• Load the JSON files from the DEVICE/ drive in the editor
• Make your changes and download the Configuration File
• Add the updated Configuration File to your CONFIG/ drive
• Right-click the CONFIG/ drive and safely eject it

The device configuration is now updated.

Notes

1. The DEVICE/ drive always contains the default files. Updating your device configuration does not result in changes to the Configuration File on the DEVICE/ drive
2. If your CANmod is e.g. using FW 01.04.01, your Configuration File must be named 'config-01.04.json'
3. If your config is invalid, the device will not output data

See the CANedge Intro for details on how to use the CANmod with the CANedge - incl. initial setup, daisy-chaining multiple CANmod devices and more.

The CANmod can be used to stream data in real-time via USB into SavvyCAN - ideal for lab or pre-deployment tests.

To start streaming, go through below steps:

• Download & unzip SavvyCAN (Windows)
• Connect the CANmod via USB to your PC
• Ensure your CANmod uses the latest firmware
• In SavvyCAN, click 'Connection/Open Connection Window'
• Select 'Add new device/QT SerialBus Devices/csscan'
• Click 'Create New Connection'
• Click 'File/DBC File Manager' and load your CANmod DBC

The CANmod data should now be streaming into SavvyCAN and you can e.g. DBC decode it and create visual plots. See also the CLX000 Intro for details on using SavvyCAN.
