PC Communications with AEMCal
The VCU200 communicates with the PC over the CAN1 network. A CAN to USB converter device is required. For best
performance, AEM recommends the Kvaser Leaf Light HS v2
https://www.kvaser.com/product/kvaser-leaf-light-hs-v2/
Once you have the adapter, navigate to the Kvaser DOWNLOADS tab and click the Download button for the Kvaser
Drivers for Windows. Note that the Version may not necessarily match the Version in the example image below. Run
the executable to install the hardware drivers.
It is always a good idea to restart your PC after installing new hardware
drivers. Please do so.
Harness Connectors and Required Tools
A mating Plug & Pin Kit is available from AEM under PN 30-3709. Following is a list of Molex recommended tools for
working with these connector assemblies. There may be similar and/or compatible tools available in the market.
However, AEM will not be responsible for connector housing damage caused by misuse or use of improper tools. If you
are not comfortable working with high density connector housings, please seek help from an experienced automotive
harness builder. A properly planned and assembled harness is critical for performance and safety.
