PCLink note to clarify what is supported in "CAN Devices" / "Find CAN Devices"

[jdniss]

Seems this question comes up pretty frequently, both at least here and on Facebook - no doubt Support and the Community are sick of answering it.

The software needs a note to indicate which CAN Devices are supported by the "CAN Devices" / "Find CAN Devices" tab in CAN Setup;
Still unsure whether its Link branded CAN devices only, a combination of Link & AIM products, etc?

A quick look through the Help File doesn't really indicate what is supported by the function either - please add clarification @ Link Support.

 

Thanks

So the help manual only mentions Link CAN Lambdas but that's due an update.

The CAN Devices tab search function can find:

• Link CAN Lambdas
• Various Blink and Grayhill Keypads
• Link Razor PDM
• Link DI Driver-4

It does not find:

• Aim dashes
• Gauge Art gauges
• AEM X series UEGO
• etc

It does require the devices to talk back, it can't identify just from a generic received CAN ID hence why it only works on specific CANOpen devices and devices that we explicitly write the code for.

At least half of the questions asked here or on Facebook can be answered by the person asking the question simply looking at the Help!  

However, yeah, ideally a little list or tooltip or something in the app to indicate what can be found will hopefully cut down some instances of that question!

Have added more info to the help, a note to the CAN Devices tab of the CAN Setup window and improved how specific it is when pointing you at help from each CAN Setup tab. Will be in next release.

Thanks again @Vaughan
