PC Interfaces
for analysis and control of CAN, FlexRay, LIN and K-Line systems
IXXAT PC interfaces are used in a wide range of
applications, either in test benches to connect
the devices to be tested to the test computer
or as a control interface in production or han-
dling systems. In combination with the can-
Analyser or multibusAnalyser, the interfaces
serve as a basis for a powerful CAN and
FlexRay analysis system.
The drivers for Windows (VCI), Linux and real-time
operating systems (ECI), included in the scope of
supply, have an identical programming interface
and enable a quick and easy switch between cards
without adapting to the customer's application.
Thus the optimum CAN interface in terms of area
of application, performance requirements or tar-
get unit costs can be selected at any time.
In addition to customized applications, the CAN
interfaces also form the basis for our comprehen-
sive tool chain consisting of analysis, configura-
tion, simulation and gateway tools.
All IXXAT CAN interfaces are developed, produced
and tested 100 % before delivery in accordance
with the highest quality standards.
Software support
Windows
Every CAN card is delivered with IXXAT’s universal
"Virtual CAN Interface" (VCI) driver for Windows.
This powerful driver package supports all CAN
car
ds, regardless of their PC interface format, with
a common application programming interface
(API). This means that applications based on the
VCI API can be used with all IXXAT CAN cards
without changing the application program.
The VCI is designed as a system server and allows
simultaneous access by several applications to one
or more CAN controllers of one or more PC inter-
faces.
Moreover, the driver has several application inter-
faces for C, .NET and JAVA as well as integrated
APIs for LabWindows and LabView.
The VCI CAN driver is available for 32 and 64 bit
Windows operating systems and also includes a
simple CAN bus monitor "miniMon", which en-
ables the transmission and reception of CAN mes-
sages.
Linux, INtime and RTX
For use of the CAN interfaces under Linux and in
r
eal-time environments (INtime, RTX), IXXAT pro-
vides the universal “Embedded Communication In-
terface” driver (ECI) free of charge. As with the
VCI, the user interface is identical for all operating
systems. Thus applications based on ECI can be
used with all supported IXXAT CAN interfaces
without changing. The application interface is de-
signed as a "C" interface and contains all neces-
sary functions for CAN-based applications.
