1. CANpari Driver Installation or Update:
-----------------------------------------


1. Start SETUP.EXE on the driver disk

   Follow the instructions on screen.

   The setup programm will ask for the directory where you have installed your
   CANalyzer, CANoe or CANape. To install the programming library only, install
   the library first (see below), then run the CANapri setup and specify the 
   directory where you have installed the libray.


2. Check the CAN Hardware Configuration Panel in the System Folder

   The CANpari should apear in the Configuration Page.

   If not check the Diagnostic Page for messages. If the interrupt can't be
   hooked, disable the Printer Driver in Windows Hardware Configuration Tree
   or create a Hardware Profile with the Printer Driver disabled.


For additional help and information please refer to the installation manual 
shipped with the CAN Driver CD or on the Vector internet homepage 
(http://www.vector-informatik.com, section support). 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Application Drivers
----------------------

Usually the application CAN drivers are installed by the applications
installation program. 

To update the application CAN driver manually just copy CANDRV32.DLL to your
application directory.
Note: This is required for CANalyzer (Version less 3.0), CANoe (Version less 3.0), 
CANape (Version less 3.1) and ProCANopen. 

Example:

- copy a:\candrv32.dll c:\Program Files\CANalyzer\exec32\candrv32.dll
- copy a:\candrv32.dll c:\Program Files\CANape\exec\candrv32.dll


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. CAN Hardware configuration utility (vcanconf.exe)
----------------------------------------------------

The CAN Hardware configuration utility gives you the ability to 
configurate all installed Vector CAN Hardware. It is located in your Control 
Panel under 'CAN-Hardware' or on your CAN-Driver disc.
