PCAN-Developer 4 is a high-performance Application Programming Interface (API) capable of creating complex Windows® applications that support CAN and CAN FD using PEAK-System hardware interfaces.
The API can be used with different programming languages. The scope of supply includes examples and header files for C/C++, Delphi, and .NET (C#, Visual Basic, and C++ CLR).
The PCAN-Developer package provides an extensive function library using interface DLLs for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Unlike the free PCAN-Basic API, the CAN communication is handled by Client objects, which allows multiple applications to access a single physical CAN channel. Furthermore, it can even work without CAN hardware via virtual connections; Clients establish a simulated CAN connection between Windows® applications.
Features of CAN connections via Clients
- One or multiple Clients can be connected with a Net
- One Client can be connected with multiple Nets
- A Net can be connected to one virtual connection or one active hardware channel
- When a Client transmits, the message is passed to all other Clients connected to the Net and via the hardware to the external CAN bus
Package Includes:
- Single user license for development
- Distribution license for PCAN-Developer redistributable
- API DLLs
- PCAN-View
- PCAN-Nets Configuration
- PCAN-Status Display
For the API and the software, you will receive all updates and free support for the duration of two years.
General :
- Professional API for developing applications with CAN and CAN FD connections
- Complies with CAN specifications 2.0 A/B and FD
- CAN FD support for ISO and Non-ISO standards switchable
- Supports the operating systems Windows® 10, 8.1, 7 (32/64-bit)
- Use of a Windows® DLL for 32-bit or 64-bit as programming interface (API) for all supported hardware types
- Thread-safe API
Interface with PEAK-System hardware :
- Up to 64 applications can be operated per physical CAN channel at the same time
- Use of up to 64 channels for each hardware type
- Simple switching between channels of a PCAN PC hardware using Nets
- Access to the CAN channels of a PCAN-Gateway via the new PCAN-LAN hardware type
- Driver-internal buffering of up to 32,768 CAN messages per Client
- Buffer size can be configured via the API
- Precision of time stamps on received messages up to 1 µs (depending on the PEAK CAN interface used)
- Access to all available hardware parameters such as listen-only mode
- Notification of the application through Windows® events when a message is received
- Notification of the application through driver events, e.g. altered hardware parameters, plug-in/plug-out of PCAN PC hardware, or bus load information
- Interrupt-triggered reception of CAN messages by the driver. Storage in a FIFO buffer with the time stamp
- Control of the transmission timing by specifying time stamps when transmitting messages
- Configuration of single-shot and self-receive-request transmissions
- Support of CAN error frames
- Simulated CAN communication between applications via Clients
- Free definition of a message filter per Client
- Hardware reset during an active connection
- Hardware configuration using the control panel or application
