connectBlue's products include an OEM module and an industrial IP65 serial port adapter, which are compatible with all existing connectBlue Bluetooth and wirless LAN product.
The operating mode of the device and of the CAN controllers is displayed via LEDs.
Equipped with the Infineon C161 microcontroller, a 256Kbyte Flash memory and 128Kbyte RAM, the interface has enough performance to receive bursts of CAN messages, provide them with a timestamp and send them to the PC via USB without losing data, even at high datarates and large bus loads.
The 5V DC supply voltage is provided via the USB, making this a truly portable solution to CANbus analysis in the field as well as a "plug-and-go" solution in the lab.
The USB-to-CAN Compact is supplied with the IXXAT universal VCI CAN driver, which allows the operation of IXXAT high-level CANbus analysis tools and the creation of customers' own applications, as well as a simple monitoring tool.
With its common API, the VCI-driver allows an application to use any of the CAN cards offered by IXXAT without modification to the application.
VCI is available to run under Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP.
