[ts-7000] Re: ts-7552 can network communication

["PeterElliot" <>]

I've never used CAN on one of the TS products, so can't help you on the 
specifics.

Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller_area_network

Depending on the communication being passed, you'll need to be able to accept 
all messages on the CAN bus (without acknowledging them) and then filter out 
the required network addresses.

I would probably look for a semi real-time monitor where the CAN message data 
is buffered before being analyzed. I don't know how well the TS system can 
handle large number of messages at a high rate.
