Figure 22-14. Segments within the Bit Time
Table 22-17 describes the time segment syntax:
Table 22-18 gives an overview of the CAN compliant segment settings and the related parameter values.
NOTE
Ensure the bit time settings are in compliance with the CAN standard.
Table 22-17. Time Segment Syntax
Syntax Description
SYNCSEG System expects transitions to occur on the bus during this period.
Transmit point A node in transmit mode transfers a new value to the CAN bus at this point.
Sample point A node in receive mode samples the bus at this point. If the three samples per 
bit option is selected, then this point marks the position of the third sample.
