1 Introduction
The PCAN-USB Pro adapter enables simple connection of a PC to
CAN and LIN networks. Two field busses can be connected at the
same time, with up to four connections available using appropriate
adapter cables (2x CAN, 2x LIN). Its robust aluminum casing makes
the PCAN-USB Pro adapter suitable for mobile applications. Soft-
ware interfaces exist for different operating systems, so programs
can easily access a connected CAN and/or LIN bus.
