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 Interface Card FAQ
Technical support and paid services to drive your project to the limit.
HONGKE's PCAN interface card series has undergone rigorous testing and has been continuously stabilized for more than 3,000 hours, maintaining a stable connection without dropping frames.
Its hardware design has good anti-interference ability and with perfect error handling mechanism, it can maintain reliable communication during long time and high load tasks such as ECU software flashing and data calibration, and avoid flashing failure or data error due to tool problem.
We recommend the use of multi-channel high-performance CAN adapters such as PCAN-USB X6 maybe PCAN-PCIe FD Series.
These products support CAN FD baud rates up to 12 Mbps and provide up to 4 or 6 independent channels for high-speed synchronized data acquisition and recording on multiple CAN FD networks such as radars, cameras, domain controllers, etc., making them ideal tools for ADAS data recording and testing.
For harsh electromagnetic environments, we offer USB CAN adapters with galvanic isolation.
Electrical isolation protects the host computer and CAN network equipment by effectively blocking common mode interference from ground loops and suppressing surges and spikes.
Stable and reliable communication is maintained even in the environment of vehicle electrical systems or high-power laboratory equipment.
Can. Avision provides a unified and free PCAN-Basic API with native support for C++, C#, VB, .NET, Python, Java.
At the same time, the hardware can also use official or third-party interfaces in LabVIEW, MATLAB / Simulink, Qt and other environments, so that teams can develop and integrate in a familiar development environment.
Avision PCAN adapters provide microsecond time stamp resolution.
In multi-channel or cross-device synchronization scenarios, the hardware and drivers support a global time synchronization mechanism that ensures a consistent and accurate time base for all channels.
This is very important for analyzing communication timing across ECUs, locating incidental faults, and analyzing network delays, which can provide reliable data support for whole-vehicle network testing.
