The latest CanKing 7 has been released by Kvaser. It is a free-of-charge CAN analysis software designed to meet the needs of engineers testing and debugging CAN networks.
The CanKing 7 has been fully redesigned to enhance the user experience and introduce a variety of features and improvements.
Martin Sventén, Kvaser’s CEO, said, “At Kvaser, we seek to accompany engineers on their CAN journey. This often starts early in development, before a project can justify the acquisition of feature-rich tools.”
Some key features of the CanKing 7 include a modern graphical user interface (GUI), support for Linux – ARM64 and x64 architectures, and multiple workspaces such as CAN Trace, CAN Bus Statistics, CAN Send and CAN Periodic Send. The CanKing 7 also features a message logger for recording and analyzing CAN messages with precision, background data processing support and CanKing CLI – command line functionality that enables users to create text-based commands to talk directly to the system under analysis.
As one of the first free CANbus monitoring tools available, CanKing has gained popularity. Kvaser has continually incorporated user feedback to enhance functionality and performance, adding CAN FD compatibility and support for various high-level protocols such as SAE J1939, CANOpen and NMEA 2000.
This latest update remains free of charge and users can download it on multiple PCs, with no lifetime limitations. Engineers without CAN hardware can generate virtual CAN channels within CanKing to begin a new project, and all Kvaser CAN hardware works with the software.
