5.1. Work Mode (Default)

In Work Mode, the Boot Switch should be in the OFF position. The adapter will operate with its currently installed firmware. By default, the SH-C31A comes with candlelight firmware, which supports standard CAN frames but not CAN FD frames.

To use the adapter in Work Mode with software like Cangroo or BUSMASTER:

1. Ensure the Boot Switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the adapter to your computer and CAN bus as described in Section 4.
3. Open your preferred CAN analysis software (e.g., Cangroo, BUSMASTER).
4. Configure the software to recognize the "candleLight USB to CAN adapter" or similar device under Universal Serial Bus devices.
5. Initiate measurement or communication within the software.

5.2. Firmware Update (DFU Mode)

If you require CAN FD functionality, you must flash the firmware to slcan firmware. This process involves putting the device into DFU Mode.

1. Enter DFU Mode: Move the Boot Switch to the ON position.
2. కంప్యూటర్‌కు కనెక్ట్ చేయండి: Plug the SH-C31A adapter into your computer's USB port. The device should appear as "STM Device in DFU Mode" in your device manager.
3. Access Firmware Updater: Navigate to the official CANable 2.0 firmware updater webసైట్: https://www.canable.io/updater/canable2.html
4. ఫర్మ్‌వేర్‌ను ఎంచుకోండి: న website, select the desired firmware (e.g., "slcan with FD support") from the dropdown menu.
5. ఫ్లాష్ ఫర్మ్‌వేర్: Click "Connect and Update" and follow the on-screen prompts to flash the new firmware.
6. Exit DFU Mode: After successful flashing, return the Boot Switch to the OFF position. Unplug and replug the device to start with the new firmware.

If you encounter issues with your DSD TECH SH-C31A adapter, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• పరికరం గుర్తించబడలేదు:
  • అడాప్టర్ ఫంక్షనల్ USB పోర్ట్‌కి సురక్షితంగా ప్లగ్ చేయబడిందని నిర్ధారించుకోండి.
  • Check your computer's Device Manager to see if the device is listed (e.g., "candleLight USB to CAN adapter" or "STM Device in DFU Mode").
  • వేరే USB పోర్ట్ లేదా కంప్యూటర్‌ని ప్రయత్నించండి.
  • If in DFU mode, ensure the Boot Switch is in the ON position. If in Work Mode, ensure it's OFF.
• No CAN Communication:
  • Verify that the CAN_H, CAN_L, and GND connections are correct and secure.
  • Check the CAN bus termination resistors if applicable to your network.
  • Ensure your software is correctly configured for the adapter and the CAN bus parameters (e.g., baud rate).
  • If using CAN FD, confirm that the slcan firmware has been successfully flashed.
• ఫర్మ్‌వేర్ అప్‌డేట్ సమస్యలు:
  • Ensure the Boot Switch is in the ON position before connecting for DFU mode.
  • అనుకూలతను ఉపయోగించండి web browser (e.g., Chrome) for the CANable updater webసైట్.
  • If on Linux, you may need to add a udev rule for proper device recognition. Refer to the CANable documentation for details.
