           DIAdem Driver for Kvaser CAN Hardware v1.3.51
           =============================================


1. Features

    The KVASER DIAdem driver gives you access to the CAN signals based on the
    (Vector) CANdb signal description. It's possible to send and receive CAN
    messages.

    Features:

    - Runs in DIAdem's standard measurement mode "DAC kernel with software
       clock". Interrupt mode is supported only for input blocks.

    - More than one CANdb file per CAN channel.

    - Works with signals in Intel and Motorola Format as well as mode signals.

    - Easy to use, select CANdb messages and signals from a tree view.

    - Supports the complete KVASER CAN hardware (PCI, PCMCIA, ISA).

    - Available for Windows NT4/95/98/ME/2000/XP.



2. Requirements

   The DIAdem driver has been tested with DIAdem version 7.0. In order
   to use the interrupt mode for data acquisition, you must use the latest
   available CAN driver.


3. Included Files

   kcandrv.dll:  Driver DLL
   kcandrv.g5d:  Message texts
   kcandrv.bmp:  Icons

   gensig.exe:   Simple signal generator
   gensig.dbc:   CANdb for signal generator


4. Installation

   Copy the files 'kcandrv.dll' and 'kcandrv.g5d' into the DIAdem program
   directory (e.g. c:\programs\Gfs\DIAdem.)

   Copy the file 'kcandrv.bmp' into the symbols directory of DIAdem
   (e.g. c:\programs\Gfs\DIAdem\symbols)

   Register the driver DLL as described in the DIAdem manual.


5. Testing the installation.

   Create a new setup in DIAdem. Put a CAN block and (e.g.) a diagram block
   in it, and connect the two blocks.

   Open gensig.dbc from the driver's configuration window. Select one
   or more signals. In the same window, configure LAPcan (or PCIcan)
   to use channel 2 and 1 Mbit/s.

   Connect channel 1 and channel 2 on the CAN board with a short, terminated
   CAN cable.

   From a command prompt, run "gensig -rt -all". This will generate a CAN
   message stream on channel 1. If you start the measurement in DIAdem, you will
   see the corresponding data appear in the diagram window.
