The new version 5.2 of the CANopen Master API now also supports the CAN@net II/VCI PC interface from IXXAT. This enables the connection of test applications to the CANopen network via Ethernet, providing various possibilities in the area of remote diagnosis and maintenance.
Further enhancements are the support of 64 bit operating systems and improvements at the status monitoring of CANopen nodes. Using the CANopen Master API 5.2 in conjunction with the CAN@net II/VCI requires the installation of the new version 3.2 of the IXXAT VCI CAN driver.

IXXAT provides on it’s webpage a free patch file for the canAnalyser, canAnalyser-lite and MultibusAnalyser, enabling the customers to update their software to the latest version 2.6. The patch file requires an installed version 2.5.14.1488 of the software.

The new version 2.6 now also supports Windows Vista and comes with a .NET API according to the latest 2.0 standard. In addition, the new graphic module, which is included in the canAnalyser patch file, was revised and extended (not content of the canAnalyser-lite and MultibusAnalyser patch file).
