canair read¶
Alias: query
usage: canair read [-h] [--param NAME [NAME ...]] [--session] [--wake]
[--repl] [--save] [--label TEXT] [--state TEXT]
[--notes TEXT] [--include-static] [--wican WICAN]
[--transport {slcan-tcp,wican-ws,elm327-tcp}]
[--no-fallback] [--wait] [--elm-timeout MS]
[--timeout SECONDS] [--json] [--verbose] [--timings]
[--reboot] [--unsafe] [--force]
[STEP ...]
[UDS] Read ECUs/parameters live. Positional STEPs use the multi mini-language.
positional arguments:
STEP Read selector(s), @group(s), or multi mini-language
step(s)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--param NAME [NAME ...]
Read named parameters instead of selectors
--session Enter extended session (10 03)
--wake Wake ECUs from deep sleep (10 01)
--repl Drop into REPL after the pipeline
--save Save results to captures/
--label TEXT Session label for --save
--state TEXT Session state for --save
--notes TEXT Session notes for --save
--include-static Include static config/identity PIDs (e.g. 21F2) in a
bare-ECU sweep. By default `canair read ECU` omits
PIDs flagged static:true; naming one explicitly
(ECU:21F2) always queries it.
--wican WICAN WiCAN address: ap or IP (default: config
transport.host / default_wican=ap)
--transport {slcan-tcp,wican-ws,elm327-tcp}
CAN transport: slcan-tcp (raw CAN), wican-ws (WiCAN
ELM327 WebSocket), or elm327-tcp (direct ELM327
adapter over TCP). Overrides the config
`transport.type` (default: slcan-tcp).
--no-fallback Don't auto-fall-back to other configured devices when
the selected one is unreachable (see config
transport.fallback).
--wait Keep retrying to reach the device indefinitely, then
start as soon as it comes online (Ctrl-C to stop). For
'monitor', also reconnects forever if the connection
drops mid-session (auto-failover to another same-
transport device is bounded by default; --wait makes
it unbounded).
--elm-timeout MS ELM327 ECU response timeout in ms (sent as ATSTxx
after init)
--timeout SECONDS Overall UDS response timeout in seconds (default 3.0
ELM / 2.0 raw). Overrides any per-ECU
response_timeout_ms for the whole run.
--json Output results as JSON
--verbose, -v Show raw transport traffic and expressions
--timings Print per-ECU/PID round-trip timing stats on exit (to
stderr)
--reboot Reboot WiCAN after session to restore AutoPID mode
--unsafe Bypass dangerous command blocklist (requires explicit
per-command consent)
--force Ask a session already holding the connection to
release it, then wait for it
examples:
canair read BMS:2101 Read BMS PID 2101
canair read "VCU:2101 BMS:2101" Cross-ECU read
canair read @charging Read a saved group (see `canair groups`)
canair read @driving CLU:220B A group plus an extra selector
canair read "skm-wake acc" "query IGPM:BC03,BC06"
canair read --param SOC_BMS SOC_DISP Read named parameters
`canair query` is a kept alias. For a live, continuously-refreshing view use
`canair monitor` instead.
