CAT
I'am going Online, the status bar displays the bus status (BusSts):Error active . Did a bus error occur?
This is a CAN protocol specific term. The displayed bus status is provided by the status flag of the CAN chip. Error active is the normal status of the CAN bus communication. It indicates that the "CAT" is taking part in the communication of the bus and is allowed to send active error flags (dominant). If the bus status would be "Error passive", it would indicate that the "CAT" is still taking part on the communication but is only allowed to send passive error flags (recessive).
See also Introduction to CAN for details. (It takes a while to open this site, because of its extensive content.)
