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
