Additional software and documentation
The Kvaser CANlib SDK includes everything you need in order to develop software
applications interacting with Kvaser CAN hardware. The SDK contains full
documentation and many sample programs, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Python
and Visual Basic. Kvaser CAN hardware is built around the same common
software API. Applications developed using one device type will run without
modification on other device types.
