Our Most Popular CAN Devices from ESD Electronics
CAN-PCI/200 33 MHz PCI CAN board with either one or two CAN networks.
CAN-PCI/266 66 MHz PCI CAN board, one or two CAN networks.
CAN-USB-Mini USB to CAN interface module. This is a very popular item and is typically used with both notebook and desktop computers. The interface works at baud rates up to 1MHz. This module, when used with the ESD software package, makes setting up a program to monitor devices on a CAN network fast and simple - even if you are unfamiliar with CAN. If you already have a CAN system in production, or if you are just looking to experiment with CAN, this is a great interface.

CAN Software and Programming Interfaces  
CAN-API

The CAN-API is an application layer interface which works with all of ESD's CAN interfaces (PCI, PC104, USB etc), and all of the following operating systems:
Windows 9x / ME / NT / 2K / XP, RTX,
Linux, LynxOS, PowerMAX OS, Solaris, SGI-IRIX6.5, AIX,
VxWorks, QNX4, QNX6, RTOS-UH


The API simplifies your program's interface to the CAN driver. The CAN driver must also be installed and operating in the host system. In a Windows systems the CAN driver is a DLL file. In the case of Linux and other operating systems it is typically a Kernel mode driver.

For Windows systems the API includes libraries for MS Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder and Delphi, and Labview and for any system running Python.

CAN-DOS-APILayer 2 DOS application interface (only for older applications).
 
CAN Starter Kits
