To read data from the CAN bus, the CAN Interface must be enabled. When connecting to a CAN bus for the first time, it is also recommended to use Passive Mode.
All required settings are configured on the CAN Bus tab in the device configuration.
¶ Description
- Connect the device to the CAN bus and open CAN Spy.
- In the Source drop-down list, select the connected CAN interface.
- In the Baudrate drop-down list, select the required CAN bus speed and click Start.
Alternatively, click Auto Detect to detect the CAN bus baud rate automatically.
Please wait until CAN traffic is detected.
- Once messages appear in the Message Table, open the Record Log tab.
- Add a new vehicle (or select an existing one) and specify its Make and Model.
- Add a connection point (or select an existing one) and provide a description.
The current baud rate will be assigned automatically based on the detected CAN bus speed. - Click Record New Log and select one of the available recording templates.
Then follow the instructions provided by the recording wizard.
You can record one or more templates.
While a log is being recorded, the indicator at the top of the window shows the recording status. If it is green, CAN data is being recorded correctly.
- To save the recorded logs, click Create Report File.
In the dialog that opens, select the templates you want to include.
The logs will be saved as a.ziparchive.

¶ Recommendations
The recorded logs can be sent to the Navtelecom Technical Support Team to create a new decoding file, add new parameters to an existing decoding file, or correct issues in an existing decoding file.
The recorded logs can also be replayed in CAN Spy to select a decoding file or to identify CAN parameters yourself.
