STAG software for system analysis
STAG (Saminco Tools And Graphing) is a comprehensive software platform designed to provide intuitive operation, in-depth observation, real-time analysis, and system stimulation of Controller Area Networks (CAN) used within American Traction Solutions Inc. / Saminco Inc. Propulsion Systems. Built as a modern evolution of the traditional Saminco Handheld Programmer, STAG delivers a feature-rich graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to:
- View, record, compare, and modify drive parameters with greater clarity and accessibility.
- Send command messages directly to propulsion drives for system control, calibration, or testing.
- Graph live SAMCAN2 bus activity to visualize system performance in real time.
For troubleshooting, diagnostics, and engineering development, STAG includes powerful logging and playback features:
- Record SAMCAN2 data into industry-standard ASCII log files for detailed offline review.
- Re-load and graph saved logs, making it possible to reproduce and analyze previous sessions.
- View Trace Window with all of the CAN Messages on the network.
- Capture and export graph screenshots for documentation, reporting, or collaborative problem solving.
STAG is engineered to work seamlessly across all generations and variations of ATS / Saminco propulsion systems*. Its built-in intelligence automatically detects and adapts to the active baud rate and communication protocol, ensuring straightforward connection and eliminating manual setup guesswork.
