Kvaser CANlib SDK


canlib_code_blue

The CANlib Software Development Kit is your transparent Application Programming Interface for interfacing to all Kvaser hardware platforms.


The CANlib SDK includes a virtual hardware that can do just about everything our real hardware can. Just download our CANlib SDK and start developing for any Kvaser hardware right away. Once you get a Kvaser product you can just plug it in and run on it instead of the virtual driver!

Features in Kvaser CANlib SDK


The Kvaser CANlib SDK is FREE and supports the following compilers:

  • Microsoft Visual C/C++
  • Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero C++ Builder
  • gcc, MinGW

This is some of the contents of CANlib SDK:

  • Example programs
  • Debug your own CAN tools using CANking (free of charge bus monitor, separate download)
  • Getting-started and reference documentation
  • Supports virtual (non-hardware) CAN channels which you can use for test or demo purposes. Install the virtual drivers today and try everything out.
  • Limited 16-bit (DOS, Windows 3.x) support for the PCcan family of boards available as a separate download

Software written using CANlib provides compability with present and future hardware from Kvaser. An application using CANlib can be used on another platform without modifications.
