Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
The PCAN system of the company PEAK-System Technik GmbH consists of a
|
|
collection of Windows Device Drivers. These allow the Real-time connection of
|
|
Windows applications to all CAN busses that are physically connected to the PC
|
|
via a PCAN hardware.
|
|
|
|
PCAN-Basic is a simple programming interface to the PCAN system. Via one
|
|
Interface DLL it is possible to connect own applications to the Device drivers
|
|
and the PCAN hardware, to communicate with the CAN busses.
|
|
|
|
The provided drivers, the PCAN-Basic API, and the PCAN-View CAN bus Monitor
|
|
software are the feature-reduced versions of the larger software packages
|
|
PCAN-Developer or PCAN-Explorer. These can be aquired separately.
|
|
|
|

Installation of PCAN hardware
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
For information on installing PCAN hardware, please refer to the corresponding
|
|
hardware user manual. These manuals are accessible online at:
|
|
www.peak-system.com/quick/Documentation.
|
|
|
|
The target system requires to have the PCANBasic.dll library installed in order
|
|
to be able to run applications that use this API. There are two ways to get this
|
|
library installed on a system:
|
|
1. Via "Device Driver Setup" (recommended): The same application used for device
|
|
driver installation can also install this library. It can be downloaded using
|
|
the following link: www.peak-system.com/quick/DrvSetup.
|
|
2. Copying the library manually: Copy the library files contained in this package
|
|
to the target system as follow:
|
|
|
|
For x64 Windows systems:
|
|
\x86\PCANBasic.dll --> Windows\SysWOW64
|
|
\x64\PCANBasic.dll --> Windows\System32
|
|
|
|
For ARM64 Windows systems:
|
|
\x86\PCANBasic.dll --> Windows\SysWOW64
|
|
\x64\PCANBasic.dll --> Application folder (x64 applications)
|
|
\ARM64\PCANBasic.dll --> Application folder (ARM64 applications)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation of the NuGet Package
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Performing an online or offline installation of the NuGet package for Microsoft
|
