can networking

Leading Controller Area Network (CAN) interface specialist, Kvaser AB, is pleased to announce application-specific versions of its highly popular Leaf Light v2 interface. In addition to a bare board version for embedded applications, Kvaser now has tailored versions of the Leaf Light v2 for automotive and commercial vehicle diagnostic applications.

The Kvaser Leaf Light v2 OBDII provides a simple way of connecting a PC with the on-board computer in any vehicle by means of its USB 2.0 connector and a 16-pin OBDII compliant CAN connector. Meanwhile, the Kvaser Leaf Light HS v2 J1939-13โ€™s USB 2.0 connector and 9-pin J1939-13 compliant CAN connector suits commercial vehicle diagnostic applications. Kvaser Leaf Light v2 CB, a bare circuit board version of the Leaf Light v2 interface, is ideal for embedded applications.

Having made its name as the work-horse of USB to CAN interfaces, Kvaserโ€™s Leaf Light product series provide reliable, low cost tools that connect any CAN network to a PC or mobile computer in applications as wide ranging as automotive, mining, marine, military, oil and gas exploration, military, industrial and heavy machinery.

All the Kvaser Leaf Light v2โ€™s support high speed USB and can send up to 8000 messages per second, each time-stamped with 100 microsecond accuracy. Galvanic isolation, previously a more expensive option on Kvaserโ€™s original Leaf Light, now comes as standard, enhancing protection from power surges or electrical shocks.

Used with Kvaserโ€™s CANlib library, which is free to download from Kvaserโ€™s website (www.kvaser.com), the Leaf Light v2 series provides application programmers with quick and easy access to the CAN network. The software, which can be used across Kvaserโ€™s product portfolio, enables hardware initialization, bus on/off, setting of bus parameters and buffers, as well as read/write commands.

The Kvaser Leaf Light v2 series is available now with free software, free software updates and free support.
