# CAN Bus Simulator

> Use this tool when you need to simulate and test CAN bus networks, decode automotive signals, and analyze vehicle data. It solves problems in automotive diagnostics, vehicle data analysis, and testing CAN-based applications by providing a virtual ECU simulation environment with configurable transmission rates and OBD-II diagnostic handling. It takes DBC files and CAN frames as input and outputs decoded signals, allowing for filtering and monitoring of specific signals over time.

## Description

Provides a bridge between CAN bus networks and virtual ECU simulation through DBC (Database CAN) file decoding. Features a complete ECU simulator that generates realistic automotive signals (engine status, ABS, airbag, body control) with configurable transmission rates, plus OBD-II diagnostic request/response handling. Exposes tools for reading CAN frames, decoding signals using DBC definitions, filtering by arbitration ID or signal name, and monitoring specific signals over time, making it valuable for automotive diagnostics, vehicle data analysis, and testing CAN-based applications.
