PCAN-Explorer 7: Instruments Panel Add-in
Turn PCAN-Explorer 7 into a custom CAN dashboard, test panel or simulator
This add-in adds a panel editor to PCAN-Explorer 7 where you place gauges, indicators and controls. Signals from received CAN messages drive the displays, and switches, sliders, potentiometers and input fields send messages onto the bus.
Use it for simple simulations, test bench front panels or monitoring screens. Version 7 adds SVG image lists for drawing your own instruments, and panels can switch between layouts (scenes) depending on signal values.

- Analog and digital instruments fed by CAN signals
- Controls and input fields that generate CAN messages
- Own graphical instruments from image lists, including SVG since version 7
- Scenes: different panel layouts selected by signal value at runtime
- Automation through the panel object model with COM and scripts
