Ixxat Support USB To CAN
#1

Hello,
I am trying to implement the USB-to-CAN V2 device into my Java application.
I have found the VCI V4 library on the IXXAT website.
I downloaded and installed it but it does not contain a Java library (JAR) and/or a native Java library for Windows (DLL).
The IXXAT website (https://www.ixxat.com/products/products-industrial/can-interfaces/can-interfaces-software =>CAN Driver for Windows (VCI)) says the VCI library does feature a Java API or Java support.
Where can I find the Java library suitable for use with latest VCI V4 (v4.0.939.0)?

Thank you,
Markus

Hi @Markus,

Make sure to install the VCI V3 Java API_1_0_54_0.exe which is in the VCI V4 zip folder in the Add-Ons directory and is compatible with VCI V4.

The Java example program is here:
“c:\Users\Public\Documents\HMS\IXXAT VCI 3.5\Samples\java”

The Java documentation is here:
“c:\Program Files\HMS\IXXAT VCIV3 Java API 1.0\doc”

Detailed descriptions of functions can be found in the C API documentation:
“c:\Program Files\HMS\IXXAT VCI 4.0\Manual\VCI-C-SoftwareDesignGuide_en.pdf”

Thank you for your help - i must have been blind :slight_smile:

I have found a link in a thread in this forum to the Java API but I was not sure if it is compatible with the latest VCI V4 driver.

No problem! It’s not as clear as it probably should be.
