Figure 18-17. Segments within the bit time
Table 18-21 gives an overview of the CAN compliant segment settings and the related parameter values.
Table 18-20. Time segment syntax
Syntax Description
SYNC_SEG 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 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.
