The Kvaser USBcan Light 2xHS (EAN 73-30130-00714-7) is an entry-level way to put two high speed CAN buses on a single USB port of a PC or laptop. The USB plug and the two D-SUB 9 CAN connectors each sit at the end of their own flexible lead, which helps when the ECU you need to reach is buried somewhere awkward in a vehicle. Galvanic isolation is standard, and the housing is only slightly bigger than the single-channel Leaf Light v2. Like every Kvaser interface it runs on the common CANlib API, so code written for other Kvaser hardware works without changes. Pertech is the authorized Kvaser sales representative in Israel.
USBcan Light 2xHS highlights
- Two high speed CAN channels (ISO 11898-2) from one USB 2.0 connection
