CanKing 7.5.0 was recently released, and it introduces two major additions for engineers working with transport‑protocol traffic: new J1939 and ISO‑TP Annotators that automatically decode multi‑packet exchanges and enrich Message Trace with contextual details. 💡

This brings protocol‑aware insight normally found in heavier commercial analyzers into CanKing’s lightweight workflow.

By presenting transport‑layer details directly in the trace, engineers can identify sequencing errors, incomplete transfers, and timing anomalies much earlier in the debugging process. This reduces the need for external protocol decoders or heavier analysis tools, cutting down on context‑switching and shortening investigation cycles.

The transport‑protocol annotators are available as separately downloaded CanKing service extensions, see link below. Over time, users and partners will be able to build their own diagnostic‑focused UI extensions on top of these annotators, such as an OBD‑style interface or a DTC monitoring view.

Beyond protocol annotation, CanKing’s log handling is now faster and more direct. The software can replay any supported log format without conversion and extracts channel information by scanning only the first 10,000 frames, significantly reducing setup time when working with long customer logs. J1939 DBC files are now interpreted using PGN‑based lookup, aligning CanKing with industry expectations.

RemotiveLabs, a Kvaser technical associate, has made it easier for development teams to move from virtual LIN setups to hybrid environments that include real hardware, without reworking their systems. Using RemotiveTopology, virtual and physical LIN nodes can run side by side within the same setup, allowing physical ECUs or sensors to be added gradually while the rest of the system remains virtual. This keeps network behavior consistent and avoids the disruption that often comes with introducing hardware later in a project.

This capability is enabled by RemotiveLabs’ RemotiveBus technology, which provides a simple and consistent way to connect virtual networks to physical LIN hardware. As a practical example, RemotiveLabs offers an open-source RemotiveBus plugin for Kvaser LIN adapters, showing how physical LIN interfaces – in this example Kvaser Hybrid Pro interfaces – can be added without changing existing definitions or workflows. The result is a smoother, more controlled path from simulation to real-world testing in RemotiveLabs’ platform, with Kvaser hardware fitting naturally into the process when physical LIN access is needed.

Why Memorator?
The Kvaser Memorator devices are standalone dataloggers that can also be used as USB interfaces when necessary. The Key feature of the Memorator family of devices is the ability to log data from the CAN bus to an SD card on the device. The Memorator family also offers a host of advanced solutions for filtering out the data you don’t need to capture so that measuring the data you do need can be easier than ever.

This guide will walk through every feature available on our top-of-the-line Memorator Pro devices. For more information on which features your Memorator device supports, please see the device’s individual product page.
