Au SAE J1939 Simulator non-PLUS editions

Engine Basic Edition --- Hydrogen (H) and Beryllium (Be)

Engine Basic Edition can statically or dynamically simulate most of the engine SAE J1939 data. Two push buttons (UP and DOWN buttons) are used in the static mode to control the data outputs. The dynamic mode will automatically cycling the data in its range. LEDs will indicate the control status. And Buzzer sound reflects push button inputs. The buzzer sound can also be disabled.

After a network is physically connected, simply powering up the simulator will get it transmitting Engine operating data on SAE J1939 network. No software setup and No CAN protocol configuration skill are required.

Static mode will generate steady SAE J1939 data, Dynamic mode will generate constant-changing SAE J1939 data automatically.
