Two CAN buses. A LIN bus. One USB stick.
LINCAN2 turns a laptop into a full CAN · CAN-FD · LIN workbench — read, send, bridge, decode and replay, all from the free LINCAN2 Analyzer app.
Live traffic
See every frame.
Both CAN buses and the LIN bus stream into one table — channel, flags, ID, DLC, data with per-byte change highlighting, LIN CRC check, period, counters and ASCII. ID/mask and range filters plus markers keep even a flooded bus readable.
Transmit & emulate
Send anything. Stand in for anyone.
Fire single or periodic frames (11/29-bit, RTR, FD, BRS), build and save transmit lists, and trigger a frame on a matching ID. On LIN the device runs as master or slave — LIN Response mode answers incoming headers with up to four live responses to emulate a missing node.
DBC decode
Raw bytes become real signals.
Load a DBC database and frames turn into named signals with engineering values and units — pack voltage, current and more, decoded in real time. Plot any signal on the live graph and watch it move while you drive the bus.
Everything at once
The whole toolkit, together.
Analyzer, Bomber, Gateway and Tracer run side by side — capture a scenario, bridge it between buses, brute-force an ID and replay a trace without ever leaving the app.
More tools
Built for real bench work.
Bomber
ID & data sweeping
Sweep an ID range or list, increment data per byte with a set step, insert a CRC and send at any period — to map an unknown bus during authorised diagnostics.
Gateway
CAN1 ↔ CAN2
Bridge the two CAN buses like a transparent in-line gateway. Allow-lists forward matching IDs, block-lists forward the rest — per direction, independently.
Tracer
Capture & replay
Record a session and play it back frame-by-frame or by original timestamps into a chosen channel, with per-ID selection and looping.
