Question and Answer

I'm trying to use Peak Hardware in Python. While PCAN Explorer and PCAN-View works fine, and all DLLs (ex. PCANBasic) are in Windows\System32 , python doesn't seem to see it:
network.connect(bustype='pcan', channel='PCAN_USBBUS1', bitrate=500000)
OSError: PCANBasic library not found.

Thanks for the video, could you please answer a short quesiton. I have a situation where i stop sendinng the data over can to Pcan explorer, when this happens the plotter stops plotting the graph as expected but when i resume sending data, the plotter plots a graph (mostly straight line) which does not correspond to any data, the plotter then resumes plotting the original data coming over CAN. i want the plotter to stop interpolate data and plot only real data. Is that possible?

Hi,when you run the Plotter in "live" mode - it shows the values in real time. When you stop communication the signals will not be update and so no change of data happened -it simply use the last Value. You could remote controll the Plotter (Start / Stop / Pause) with a script. That is possible. Send us an e-mail to our support and we could send you a sample project.
