Frequently Asked Questions

The Kvaser CANlib SDK works at the raw CAN frame level.  This means the API  can be used to implement software that communicates using J1939, CanOpen, NMEA2000, DeviceNET, UDS, etc.  The implementation of these protocols is the responsibility of your application.

GEMAC, a German manufacturer of fieldbus diagnostics devices, is supporting Kvaser CAN interfaces in the latest version of its CANvision protocol monitor, version 1.3.4.1. The bus monitoring and decoding software, which handles CAN, CANopen, CANopen FD and SAE J1939 (including NMEA 2000® and ISOBUS) messages, supports Kvaser in interface mode only.

AutonomouStuff has created ROS (Robot Operating System) support for Kvaser interfaces using the Kvaser Linux driver. You can find the Kvaser ROS support package and dependency information here: https://github.com/astuff/kvaser_interface
