2.2.5 Vector interface cards
For Windows 7 64 Bit and 32 Bit imc CANSAS does support any interface cards from Vector.
The XL-interfaces are denoted by "(XL)". The XL-group offers an additional Vector-XL-interface item "???
(USB/PCI/PXI/ExpressCard/PCMCIA)" for selection. This corresponds to support of an arbitrary Vector-XL-
interface type.
Interfaces for the old VCAN Vector driver library are displayed with the extension "(VCAN)".
See the corresponding instructions provided by Vector on installing the cards under the operating
systems WindowsXP or Windows7. To use the card, the Vector driver installation appropriate to both the
interface and operating system type must be used. This can be found on the CD in the folder \Driver
\Vector. However, it is preferable to use the current driver diskette which comes with the card.
Installation of the driver is absolutely necessary for the card to support the imc CANSAS software!
Note that the Vector driver often comes with an updated file named Vcan32.dll. This serves as a link for
applications which want to use the card driver. This file is usually not automatically copied onto the PC by
the Vector driver installation and must be copied to the imc CANSAS directory 'manually'! See Vector's
instructions file for the driver installation, usually designated Readme.txt.
Installing the Vector driver adds an item "CAN Hardware" to the Windows Control Panel. This control
program can be used to test any Vector interface. Otherwise, the program's functions aren't needed for
running the imc CANSAS software.
For Windows 7 imc CANSAS can work with the XP-Legacy-driver (from 2003 to 2006). They also run with
Win 7 32 Bit.
The current driver package 7.x, for Win 7-32/64 is not supported by imc CANSAS!
Further information on the Vector cards can be found at the Vector web site http://www.vector-
cantech.com in the Internet. The most current driver software can also be obtained there as a download.
Some of the instructions and tips presented at that site are also on the imc CANSAS-CD as PDF-files in the
folder \Driver\Vector.
2.2.6 IntrepidCS interface cards
For Windows 7 64 Bit and 32 Bit imc CANSAS does support any interface cards from Vector.
Additionally, an additional interface item is available for selection in the Intrepid group: "??? (USB/PCI/
PXI/ExpressCard/PCMCIA)". This corresponds to support of an arbitrary Intrepid interface type.
See the corresponding instructions provided by Intrepid under the Windows operating systems. To use
the card, the driver installation appropriate to both the interface and operating system type must be
used. It is preferable to use the current driver which comes with the card. Installation of the driver is
absolutely necessary for the card to support the imc CANSAS software!
Note that the Vector driver often comes with an updated file named Vcan32.dll. This serves as a link for
applications which want to use the card driver. This file is usually not automatically copied onto the PC by
the Intrepid driver installation and must be copied to the imc CANSAS directory 'manually'! See Intrepid's
instructions file for the driver installation, usually designated Readme.txt.
Installing the Intrepid driver adds an item "CAN Hardware" to the Windows Control Panel. This control
program can be used to test any Intrepid interface. Otherwise, the program's functions aren't needed for
running the imc CANSAS software.
