Free Software PCAN-Basic Programming Interface Introduction

- PCAN-USB IPEH-002021
- PCAN-USB CAN end with optocoupler isolation IPEH-002022
The PCAN-BASIC API (Application Program Interface) is an application program interface for the secondary development of the PCAN hardware interface family. It allows the development of simple CAN applications to implement communication with our PCAN-PC hardware. The API includes the actual device driver and a DLL (dynamic link library) that provides an interface to the API functions.
PCAN-Basic provides developers with a variety of functions for a variety of environments, including C#, C++/CLR, Delphi, VB.NET, Java, and Python 3.x, with routines for these environments in the development kit.
Regarding LabView, we do not have a free LabView driver VI, customers can buy from us, or write their own LabView drivers according to DLL.
PCAN-Basic for Linux: Supports Linux (32/64-bit), can use C++ and Python 3.x.
Features:
- Support for Windows 11 (64-bit), 10 (32/64-bit), and Linux (32/64-bit)
- Multiple PEAK and your own applications CAN run simultaneously on a single physical CAN channel
- A single DLL supports all hardware types
- Up to 8 channels CAN be used per hardware unit (depending on PEAK CAN interface used)
- PCAN PC hardware channels can be easily switched between
- Each CAN channel has an internal drive buffer of 32,768 messages
- Time accuracy of receiving messages up to 1μs (depending on PCAN interface used)
- Some hardware parameters can be accessed, such as listen only mode
- Notification that a message has been received via Windows Events
- An extended system is available for debugging operations
- Language support includes German, English, French, Spanish and Italian
- The output language depends on the operating system
- You can customize debugging information

CAN 介面卡常見問題解答
Technical support and paid services to drive your project to the limit.
虹科 PCAN 介面卡系列經過嚴格驗證,可持續穩定運行 3000 小時以上,保持連線穩定且不丟幀。
其硬體設計具備良好的抗干擾能力,並配合完善的錯誤處理機制,可在 ECU 軟體刷寫、數據標定等長時間高負載任務中保持可靠通訊,避免因工具問題導致刷寫失敗或數據錯誤。
我們建議使用 多通道高性能 CAN 介面卡,例如 PCAN-USB X6 maybe PCAN-PCIe FD 系列。
這些產品支援 最高 12 Mbps 的 CAN FD 波特率,並提供 最多 4 或 6 個獨立通道,可同時對 雷達、攝像頭、域控制器等多路 CAN FD 網絡進行高速同步數據採集與記錄,是 ADAS 數據記錄與測試的理想工具。
針對嚴苛的電磁環境,我們提供 帶電氣隔離的 USB CAN 介面卡型號。
電氣隔離可有效阻斷 地迴路產生的共模干擾,並抑制 浪湧與尖峰脈衝,從而保護上位機與 CAN 網絡設備。
即使在 車輛電氣系統或實驗室大功率設備環境下,亦能保持穩定可靠的通訊。
可以。虹科提供統一且免費的 PCAN-Basic API,原生支援C++、C#、VB、.NET、Python、Java。
同時硬體亦可在 LabVIEW、MATLAB / Simulink、Qt 等環境中使用官方或第三方接口,讓各團隊可在熟悉的開發環境下進行開發與整合。
虹科 PCAN 介面卡提供 微秒級時間戳解析度。
在多通道或跨設備同步場景下,硬體與驅動支援 全域時間同步機制,確保所有通道採集到的報文具備一致且精確的時間基準。
這對於分析 跨 ECU 通訊時序、定位偶發故障以及網絡延遲分析非常重要,可為整車網絡測試提供可靠數據支撐。
