Command Line Interface
The CanKing 7 Command Line Interface (CLI) allows users to control CanKing and perform many actions directly from the terminal. The CLI controls CanKing’s background service without using the graphic user interface (GUI). There are commands for configuring the measurement setup and for starting and stopping measurements. One use case could be to start/stop a measurement when some external event happens that CanKing isn’t aware of.
