Engineers now have an easy, cost-effective and portable solution for connecting their PCs to CAN and LIN devices and networks for device validation, test and in-vehicle data logging.
This comes as National Instruments has announced the release of its first USB modules for high-speed and low-speed/fault-tolerant Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) monitoring, logging and testing. This combines the quality and performance of NI CAN software and hardware with the benefits of Hi-Speed USB.
“Using National Instruments LabVIEW and the new USB CAN interface, I was able to quickly develop a suite of robust and easy-to-use applications that record vehicle bus data, which will be used by field personnel and test engineers,” said Scott Sirrine, lead product engineer at Eaton Corporation, a leading diversified industrial manufacturer. “The design is ideally suited for field use, and the price of the USB CAN interface was essential in keeping the total cost under budget and will allow us to deploy the application throughout our field.”
