Limitations of Peak Interface

There are a few limitations to the Peak Interface when used in CANtrace.

  • Simultaneous Interfaces: Up to two Peak USB interfaces can be in use simultaneously.
  • Error Reporting: There is no CAN error frame reporting.
  • Sampling Point: The sampling point cannot be configured.
  • Transmission Timestamps: The timestamp of transmitted message is not supported by the Peak Driver, thus PC clock is used to generate the timestamps. If the PC supports a high-resolution performance counter, the timestamp has an accurary of about 1ms.
  • Timestamp Resolution: Timestamp resolution is around 42 µs, depending on the driver. Refer to the technical specifications for more information.
