PCAN-ExpressCard 34 – User Manual

Introduction
The CAN adapter PCAN-ExpressCard 34 allows the connection of a
CAN bus to embedded PCs and laptops with ExpressCard slots. A
galvanic isolation of up to 300 Volts decouples the PC from the CAN
bus.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface
PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN
connection are included in the scope of supply.
Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs
can easily access a connected CAN bus.
Tip:
At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a
Quick Reference with brief information about the installation
and operation of the PCAN-ExpressCard 34.
