The dialogue box shows the following information:

Driver, firmware and hardware revision.

The serial number (if serial number access is supported by the hardware).

The timestamp frequency (if timestamping is supported by the hardware and the driver) and the
information if this is a hardware (HW) or software (SW) applied timestamp.

The CAN module and driver related device capabilities.

The version of the libraries which are installed together with the driver.
The dialogue box allows to configure the parameter
Base Net
and the
Smart Disconnect Feature
.
In
Base Net
a logical network number is assigned to the CAN module to distinguish between several
physical ports. If a module has got more than one physical CAN port, the logical network number
entered in
Base Net
is assigned to the first physical port and the following ports are numbered
successively. The default value for the first instance of a hardware is always 0.
Attention:
If there is more than one CAN module in the system, the user has to make sure that
the logical net numbers which are assigned to the physical ports do not overlap !
The
Smart Disconnect Feature
can be enabled or disabled, if supported by the CAN hardware. The
default after installation is disabled.
Attention:
Parameter changes are invalid until the next start of the driver !
