Using Kithara Software's CAN module of the ‘RealTime Suite', the wide range of CAN interfaces of Peak System has obtained a real-time connection under Windows. The function library is used by developers who require a time critical handling with CAN messages, for example machine builder and computer control companies. CAN messages are stored in the cache during the process of sending and receiving through a simple API, which can be used intuitionally. Custom-made real-time message filters and exception-handling routines can be installed additionally. Listen-only-mode is supported. For easy diagnosis, Kithara has upgraded its 'Kernel Tracer' that allows users to capture all CAN data streams in a resolution of microseconds.
