Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN User’s Guide 4 (23) 1 About this manual This manual is intended for Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN users. This document contains a description of the hardware’s properties and general instructions for connecting the device to a computer.
Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN User’s Guide 5 (23) 2 Introduction This section will describe the functions and features of the Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN. 2.1 Welcome to Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN Figure 1: Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN is a two-channel interface where each channel can be opened independently either as CAN or LIN.
2.4 The t programming language The Kvaser t programming language is event oriented and modeled after C. It can be used to customize the behavior of the Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN and other Kvaser t capable devices. A t program is invoked via hooks, which are entry points that are executed at the occurrence of certain events.
The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN is an interface and as such does not contain real-time clock (RTC), logger or SD card functionality. This means that the t functionality listed in Table 2 on Page 7 is not available on Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN as of version 3.2 of the t language compiler.
The driver is installed by running the file The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN may be inserted in any free USB socket on the host computer. You do not need to switch the power off before inserting or removing the device.
Figure 3: CAN/LIN connector on Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN 3.4 Power supply The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN is powered from the USB port. You also need to apply a reference voltage to the LIN reference power pin when running the channel in LIN mode.
10 (23) 3.5 LED Indicators The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN has a single power LED as well as one traffic LED and one Informational LED for each CAN/LIN channel as shown in Figure 4 on Page 10. Their functions are described in Section 4.1, Definitions of LED states and colors, on Page 11.
Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN User’s Guide 11 (23) 4 Appendices In this section you will find technical information about the Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN and its connectors. 4.1 Definitions of LED states and colors The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN has three types of LEDs; Power, Traffic and Info.
Page 12
As an example, "Slow Waver (Green/Yellow)" means that the LED is slowly blinking by alternating between green and yellow. The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN has five LEDs as shown in Figure 4 on Page 10. Their functions are shown in Table 4 on Page 12.
13 (23) 4.1.2 CAN and LIN usage Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN is ready to be operated as either a CAN or LIN interface when connected to the PC without further configuration. You can use the same CANlib and LINlib API calls as with other Kvaser interfaces, use CANlib for CAN and LINlib for LIN related usage.
When a t program is stopped using the CANlib API ( When a t program is stopped from another t program. 4.3 Technical data In Table 8 you will find the Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN’s technical specifications. CAN/LIN Channels 2 (Individually configurable as CAN or LIN)
4.5 CAN bus termination Every CAN bus must be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor at each end of the bus. The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN does not contain any CAN bus termination, because their inclusion could cause severe disturbance in a system which is already correctly terminated.
Figure 6: An example setup where all devices are synchronized via MagiSync. For this to work the Kvaser USB interfaces must reside on the same USB root hub. If they do not they will not be synchronized, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 on Page 17.
Page 17
Usually, a computer has a USB controller with one root hub in a computer. If you use that one, you do not need an external USB hub to get your Kvaser Devices synchronized. The easiest way to verify the setup is to view Synchronized Hardware in the Device Tree of “Kvaser Device Guide”...
