The test described here can be performed to check the functional integrity of the

driver and the device. This test is identical for Windows XP, Windows Vista,

Windows 7, Windows 8 and independent of the used application.

4.5.1 CAN

Device test

The operating test for CAN can be executed with the following devices:

> CANcardXL

> CANcardXLe

Loop3.exe

Either two High-Speed or two Low-Speed transceivers are necessary for this

functional test:

1. Connect two CAN channels with a suitable cable. If two High-Speed transceivers

are being used, we recommend our CANcable 1 (CANcable 0 for Low-Speed

transceivers).

2. Start \Drivers\Common\Loop3.exe from the driver CD.

This program accesses the Vector devices and transmits CAN messages.

3. Select the connected CAN channels of the device(s) to be tested.

4. Set the appropriate baudrate depending on the transceiver being used (High-

Speed max. 1,000,000 Bd, Low-Speed max. 125,000 Bd).
