Beginner's Guide To Using Kvaser's Virtual Channels
If you are interested in developing a Controller Area Network (CAN) project from home using tools available to you today, Kvaser and our partners can help. Kvaser’s CAN interfaces and dataloggers work with one universal driver that includes a Virtual CAN Driver. This Virtual CAN driver is used by tools to monitor and transmit CAN data, and with a little imagination you can start a CAN development project, continue an existing development, and learn more about CAN, all within the confines of your home, with tools that are readily available.
Here, I will give an example of how this can be accomplished. Using Kvaser CANKing, the free bus monitor software available on the Kvaser web site, along with the Kvaser Drivers for Windows, available from the same place, I can transmit and receive CAN messages through the two virtual ports available in the driver.
