Description
The PCAN-Dongle, a parallel connection to CAN converter, is a sensible alternative to using a PCAN-USB adapter for connecting to a CAN network, especially for older PCs and laptops. Depending on the parallel interface present, it can be operated in "Multiplex" or "Enhanced Parallel Port" mode. Power is supplied to the PCAN-Dongle through a special adapter connected to the PC's keyboard output.
The PCAN-Dongle package contains device drivers for Windows® 7/Vista/XP (32Bit), the PCAN-Light API, and the PCAN-Basic API, and the PCAN-View CAN monitor software. Linux drivers are also available.
