Scripts

The following modules are callable from python-can.

can.logger

Command line help (python -m can.logger --help):

usage: python -m can.logger [-h] [-f LOG_FILE] [-v] [-c CHANNEL]
                            [-i {iscan,slcan,virtual,socketcan_ctypes,usb2can,ixxat,socketcan_native,kvaser,neovi,vector,nican,pcan,serial,remote,socketcan}]
                            [--filter ...] [-b BITRATE]

Log CAN traffic, printing messages to stdout or to a given file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f LOG_FILE, --file_name LOG_FILE
                        Path and base log filename, extension can be .txt,
                        .asc, .csv, .db, .npz
  -v                    How much information do you want to see at the command
                        line? You can add several of these e.g., -vv is DEBUG
  -c CHANNEL, --channel CHANNEL
                        Most backend interfaces require some sort of channel.
                        For example with the serial interface the channel
                        might be a rfcomm device: "/dev/rfcomm0" With the
                        socketcan interfaces valid channel examples include:
                        "can0", "vcan0"
  -i {iscan,slcan,virtual,socketcan_ctypes,usb2can,ixxat,socketcan_native,kvaser,neovi,vector,nican,pcan,serial,remote,socketcan}, --interface {iscan,slcan,virtual,socketcan_ctypes,usb2can,ixxat,socketcan_native,kvaser,neovi,vector,nican,pcan,serial,remote,socketcan}
                        Specify the backend CAN interface to use. If left
                        blank, fall back to reading from configuration files.
  --filter ...          Comma separated filters can be specified for the given
                        CAN interface: <can_id>:<can_mask> (matches when
                        <received_can_id> & mask == can_id & mask)
                        <can_id>~<can_mask> (matches when <received_can_id> &
                        mask != can_id & mask)
  -b BITRATE, --bitrate BITRATE
                        Bitrate to use for the CAN bus.

can.player

Command line help (python -m can.player --help):

usage: python -m can.player [-h] [-f LOG_FILE] [-v] [-c CHANNEL]
                            [-i {kvaser,virtual,slcan,nican,neovi,ixxat,serial,usb2can,socketcan_ctypes,remote,socketcan_native,iscan,vector,pcan,socketcan}]
                            [-b BITRATE] [--ignore-timestamps] [-g GAP]
                            [-s SKIP]
                            input-file

Replay CAN traffic

positional arguments:
  input-file            The file to replay. Supported types: .db, .blf

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f LOG_FILE, --file_name LOG_FILE
                        Path and base log filename, extension can be .txt,
                        .asc, .csv, .db, .npz
  -v                    Also print can frames to stdout. You can add several
                        of these to enable debugging
  -c CHANNEL, --channel CHANNEL
                        Most backend interfaces require some sort of channel.
                        For example with the serial interface the channel
                        might be a rfcomm device: "/dev/rfcomm0" With the
                        socketcan interfaces valid channel examples include:
                        "can0", "vcan0"
  -i {kvaser,virtual,slcan,nican,neovi,ixxat,serial,usb2can,socketcan_ctypes,remote,socketcan_native,iscan,vector,pcan,socketcan}, --interface {kvaser,virtual,slcan,nican,neovi,ixxat,serial,usb2can,socketcan_ctypes,remote,socketcan_native,iscan,vector,pcan,socketcan}
                        Specify the backend CAN interface to use. If left
                        blank, fall back to reading from configuration files.
  -b BITRATE, --bitrate BITRATE
                        Bitrate to use for the CAN bus.
  --ignore-timestamps   Ignore timestamps (send all frames immediately with
                        minimum gap between frames)
  -g GAP, --gap GAP     <s> minimum time between replayed frames
  -s SKIP, --skip SKIP  <s> skip gaps greater than 's' seconds
