Most people still use Microcontrollers (MCU) to control the CAN bus. The development of Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is very advanced, and compared to the MCU the FPGA has many advantages. For this reason, this thesis uses an Altera FPGA development kit to design a CAN bus based measurement system. During the work, four Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS) were simulated for four wave channels in the FPGA. All signals of the channels were transmitted from the FPGA to a CAN bus. Between the CAN bus and FPGA an Atmel CAN MCU, which contains both serial and CAN ports, was used as the third party. Whereby the data output from the FPGA were first transmitted to the serial port of the CAN MCU and then shifted to the CAN port of the CAN MCU. The CAN bus device (NI CAN USB-8473) which was used in this thesis, has a CAN port to connect to the CAN port of the CAN MCU, and a USB 2.0 port to connect to a PC. Finally, the data of the CAN bus was monitored on the PC with the LabVIEW platform. With this platform the data could also be transmitted to the CAN bus and then to the FPGA to change the tuning word of DDS. In order to achieve the speed limit of the complete measurement system, the communication rates of FPGA, CAN bus and CAN MCU were programmed to be the maximum.
