Description: # canScan
        
        CANopen active scanner atop Christian Sandberg's
        [CANopen for Python](https://github.com/christiansandberg/canopen). canScan
        watches for CAN arbitration IDs, CANopen node IDs (as determined through
        NMT/SDO analysis), and CANopen PDOs. canScan can scan the Object Dictionary
        of a specified (or discovered) CANopen node using SDO Receive.
        
        canScan has been developed/tested against Python 2.7 and 3.7.

        # Usage
        
        Two arguments are required: a bus type and a device identifier. The bus types
        are due [python-can](https://github.com/hardbyte/python-can), and can be found
        in that project's documentation. Device identifier semantics are per-driver.
        For virtual devices, use `virtual` and the network device name. Other SocketCAN
        devices use `socketcan` and the network device name. The CanalystII uses
        `canalystii` and the USB device index.
        
        Default behavior is to perform an SDO scan across the 128 CANopen IDs, then
        perform dumps of the entirety of discovered nodes' Object Dictionaries. Both
        steps will be periodically repeated. Discovered Object Dictionary entries will
        be queried more regularly than failed IDs. The program exits on error or
        keyboard interrupt. With the `--oneshot` flag, only an initial set of scans
        will be performed, followed by the program's exit.
        
        The `--passive` flag can be provided, in which case no frames will be
        transmitted (the driver or hardware might send frames, especially
        acknowledgements, on their own).
        
        If the `--scan` argument is provided, it expects a comma-delimited list of
        numbers (either decimal, or hex with a prefix of `0x`). These IDs will see
        their entire Dictionaries scanned whether they respond to the initial probe or
        not.
        
        `--passive` cannot be used with `--scan` or `--oneshot`.
        
        The default local node ID is 64 (0x40), but it may be specified with `--id`.
