). The used directory on the internal 

memory card is 

/PCAN-Diag/Projects/<project name>

. 

4.

 

Disconnect the USB connection between the PC and the 
PCAN-Diag. 

Do the following to load the project in the PCAN-Diag: 

1.

 

In the PCAN-Diag select 

Projects

 > 

Load Project

. 

A list with projects available on the internal memory card is 
shown. 

2.

 

Click on the project that has been transferred before. 

The project is now loaded and is shown as active project. 

 

The active project is also indicated in the main menu. 

Tip:

 You can get further information about the use of the PCAN-
