CANtrak™ Embedded Display

CANtrak will be renamed KANtrak to relect its ownership by Kongsberg Automotive

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 Create a Program for the CANtrak

There are three ways to get custom CANtrak programming.

New Eagle's Application Engineering team can develop the specification, write and test the software 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 Keil compiler, uVision2 V2.37.

Installation Issue - "The manual says that there should be an installer "CCDM PC Tool.msi" but there no msi in the zip file.

The manual also says that we have to flash the CANtrak unit with a firmware upgrade ("C6") before using the tool to configure it, but the C6 binary isn't included either."

Answer - CCDM requires C6 version of the BIN to be programed. Also, the MSI is an install file and you don't really need it. Make a CCDM folder on your c: root. Copy all the files there.
