Additional settings can be made, e.g. setting up message filters to 
confine to specific CAN IDs or setting the CAN controller to listen-
only mode. 

When receiving CAN messages, events are used for an automatic 
notification of an application (client). This offers the following 
advantages: 

 

The application no longer needs to check for received messages 
periodically (no polling). 

 

The response time at reception is reduced. 

Completion 

To end the communication the function 

CAN_Uninitialize

 is called in 

order to release the reserved resources for the CAN channel, among 
others. In addition the CAN channel is marked as "Free" and is 
available to other applications.
