Example Walk-through
Real applications will generally have an existing CAN network, but in this chapter
we show how the ICM can be connected to a PC using a USB:CAN adaptor.
The adaptor used in this example is the ``PCAN-USB’’, available from Peak Sys-
tem Technik GmbH or a distributor.
We also need to make up a special cable to connect this to the ICM.
