4.5 Checking the Resources on the CAN Buses

Once you have established communications with the Maestro you can use the Elmo
Studio to check what devices are connected. This is done by opening the Resource View,
selecting a CAN Bus, clicking the right mouse button and selecting Update CAN Bus Info.
Sample results are shown below:

CAN 0 (Has 2 Nodes)

CAN 1 (Nothing connected)

Some menu options can only be reached by highlighting a resource and clicking
on the right mouse button. In the case above, this prevents inadvertent
programming of the wrong CAN bus.
