1. Important Note
-----------------
Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP you can run CANpari only standalone
(not together with any other Vector CAN Hardware).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. CANpari Driver Installation or Update:
-----------------------------------------
- Be sure you have administrator rights.
- 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 library.
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).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. 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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. 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.
