Is it possible to capture CANBUS using WS on a PC

I am somewhat new to WS. I have only used it to debug Ethernet packets. I am looking at using some flavor of CAN (CAN, CAN FD, CANopen) in an industrial environment and need a way to capture/debug the CAN traffic using WS on a PC running Windows 7 or 10. Is it possible? Will WS detect/interpret the data frames? How can I get the data off of the CAN bus and into the PC? Anyone have a suggestion on an adapter that will work with WS? CAN-to-USB? CAN-to-Ethernet? Thank you for your help.

I use Bluetooth enabled OBDII diagnostic tool and free software from Google Play (search for OBD or OBDII to get 20+ free apps)

if you select bluetooth as your interface, you are home

My friends from San Francisco have turned Acura into self-driving car, having installed computer to control power steering, acceleration and more via CANBUS

BTW Could you remove captcha spam generator, requiring me to solve 20+ puzzles to prove I am an intelligent robot ?

Something like this might meet your needs:

There are a lot of CAN tools here, too:

Some of the CANbus analyzers have their own analysis software. But nothing wrong with trying to use our favorite packet analysis tool for CAN as well.

You can do it with Arduino. The Arduino Due PCB has it integrated. Otherwise add a CAN-Bus shield.
