CAT 3208 monitoring

[Ray Davis]

It's a possibility, but not a slam dunk. The CANpod device is essentially what I would call J1587 over IP (it converts the binary into ascii, and sends ascii data). However, it runs in the default world in ad-hoc mode. I assume in your mixed environment you would connect a hard-line IP into a wireless system? This means a couple of things, to monitor both:

1. CANpod would have to be configured to run in an existing wireless system, do-able, but not trivial.

2. The app would have to multiplex between two IP streams. Currently it doesn't use UDP, but connects into a specific port and IP, and then sets the CANpod into a streaming mode (except when reading error codes). Once streaming the app reads the data as fast as it's coming. Some work would be need to be done to work with a separate UDP stream.
