CANtrak™ Embedded Display


The CANtrak 2600 and 2610 are intelligent, multi-function displays. The ideal man-machine interface monitors numerous CAN based messages and displays the current status of user defined parameters. With its J1939 or custom CAN capability, the CANtrak offers easy integration into a CAN-based control system of MotoHawk® or 3rd party electronics for virtually any type of on-road or off-road vehicle.

The CANtrak display is easily configured by New Eagle and via a Software Development Kit (SDK) - Allows full programming of the display using ‘C’ language. A wide range of mounting kits, wiring harnesses and other accessories are also available.

  • RS232, J1708/J1587 and CANbus datalink compatible
  • Front and rear mountable (fitting kits required)
  • CE Approved design
  • Optional CSA Certified version - Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D
  • Color version available soon

How to Establish a Connection to Program the CANtrak

  • Use Hyperterminal on the serial port with 57600 baud (8N1)
  • With the device powered up, hold the left two buttons down until it shows the boot screen
  • When you have Hyperterminal up hit Enter twice for the boot menu
  • Option 2 lets you program, you want to send the file across using Transfer->Send File with 1K Xmodem in Hyperterminal


See Screenshots below:




How to Program a CANtrak

There are three ways to get custom CANtrak programming.

Turn-key Displays

New Eagle's Application Engineering team can develop the specification and program for your project.

The Software Development Tool Kit

The source code is available along with a starting point demo for application development. This package includes GEM lite, which incorporates many of the advanced functions of GEM including; selection of up to 8 languages, quad-screens, contrast and back lighting control, unit conversion, pop-up windows, and configuration menus. It also includes functions to read and display most J1939 data and an graphical library of symbols, gauges and text.

The CANtrak Configurable Display Module (CCDM)

The CCDM allows the user to quickly display 29 bit or 11 bit data from the CAN bus on a variety of gauge styles on a CANtrak 2600 or CANtrak 2610 without the need for programming in software languages such as C or C++.

Utilizing the Windows based PC Configuration tool, a non-software programmer can easily and quickly produce multiple screens of various styles of gauges without having to write even one line of code.

What compiler is used in the CANtrak SDK

The SDK uses a Kiel compiler.
