3.4 DriveRecorder3 software
The DriveRecorder3 (DR3) is a smartmicro tool for visualization, recording, replaying and
exporting of CAN or Ethernet data. This software can be downloaded on smartmicro’s
homepage. For using the DR3 an access code is required. When starting the DR3 for the first
time after installation, a request code will be generated. Please send this request code to
After the registration you can use the DR3 as a full version.
In the DR3 software a help menu is available (check help menu or push F1).
The software supports multiple CAN interfaces, compatible hardware can be found in [3].
3.4.1 Control and status of CAN hardware
Once everything is connected and the sensor is powered the targets should appear in both
TargetDraws as well as in the sensor target list. If not the following items should be checked.
Picture 7: Hardware Monitor
First of all, check the “HW Monitor” (Picture 7). The connection has to be indicated in green..
If this is not the case, for example when the hardware is connected after starting the DR3, a
click on the “reinit” will search again for CAN hardware.
This dialogue can be found in the top left sub window; further you need to select the
appropriate tab, see Picture 7.
The next item to check is whether the “Controller” is monitoring. For this the “Record” tab
has to be active and the “M” button (1) has to be activated, which will grey out that button
and activate the “Start Recording” (2) and “Stop Recording/Monitoring” (3) elements, as
seen in Picture 8.
