PCAN-Light Developer

PCAN-Light development core is a high performance Windows System Driver. This driver works in Kernel-Mode (Windows 7/Vista/XP) of Windows. It is responsible for the establishment of the interface between the CAN application running under Windows and the CAN hardware connected to the PC.

When developing your own software for the use with the PCAN system, a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) is used. The library API functions make it possible to communicate with the Windows system driver. Therefore software written using C, Pascal, Visual-Basic, VB.NET, and Delphi can be easily made functional. The Windows system driver supports any PC hardware adapter purchase through Grid Connect/Peak Systems.

The full PCAN developer package contains detailed documentation with source-code examples.
