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

How to Program a CANtrak

There are three ways to get custom CANtrak programming.

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

===2. 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. ===

===3. 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. ===
