Kvaser Settings

CAN Settings is used to set up your CAN interface. Virtual channels can be used for development, test or demonstration purposes when you don't have any hardware installed.

Add a new CAN interface by clicking the UnAssigned device in the left-side window, then selecting your CAN interface from the Hardware drop-down box.

Configurable Settings

CAN Channels

The Hardware drop-down box lists the supported CAN interfaces that are plugged into the USB port of the computer. If you cannot find your hardware, try to click Refresh to rescan the hardware.

Software CAN Channel

You may add up to 9 software channels and assign a CAN interface to them. Channels are used to manage multiple interfaces.

Channel Active

Un-checking Channel Active disables the channel, in case you do not want this CAN interface to participate in the bus communication, but want to preserve the settings for future use.

Silent mode

Configure the CAN interface to work in silent mode (won't transmit anything, won't set the ACK bit of the received messages) if the CAN interface supports silent mode.

CAN FD Mode

Configure the CAN interface to work in CAN FD mode, if supported.

Bitrate

Select the baudrate of the CAN interface.

Sampling point

Set the sampling point.

Data Bitrate

Select the data bit rate and data sampling point.
