Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
What connectivity options are available?
The device features a high-speed USB 2.0 interface with USB-C connector for fast 480Mbit/s data transmission. LIN connections use 3-pin screw terminal connectors, while CAN interfaces utilise standard SUB-D9 connectors for industry-standard connectivity.
-
Is the device compatible with Linux operating systems?
Yes, the Baby-LIN-3-Dual supports Windows 10/11 (32/64-bit) and provides DLL interfaces for PC-based Linux (x86 & x64) and ARM-based Linux systems, ensuring broad compatibility across development platforms.
-
How does galvanic isolation benefit automotive testing?
Galvanic isolation prevents electrical interference between test equipment and target systems, eliminating ground loops and protecting valuable ECUs from potential damage. This ensures reliable data transmission and maintains signal integrity during critical testing procedures.
-
What voltage ranges does the device support?
The Baby-LIN-3-Dual supports bus voltages from 8-28V DC, accommodating both 12V passenger vehicle systems and 24V commercial vehicle applications. LIN bus specifically operates within 8-26V DC range with baud rates up to 115,200.
-
Can the device simulate both master and slave nodes simultaneously?
Yes, the Baby-LIN-3-Dual can simultaneously simulate LIN master/slave nodes and CAN nodes across both protocols. It supports residual bus simulation where all but one node is simulated, complete bus simulation, or passive monitoring configurations.
