The new Softing CANpro USB was designed as a direct replacement for the now discontinued CANusb. The latest drivers are backward compatible to older CAN interface cards and driver versions, to ensure that the CANproUSB works with older software applications.
You can download the latest driver files here.
Please make sure the checkbox for “Wrapper for CAN API V4” is checked when you install the new driver. Most applications will work properly after installing the drivers and after Windows plug and play detected the new CANpro USB.
In some cases it may be necessary to also replace older DLL files in your application directory with the corresponding DLL files of the current driver. The DLL files in question are:
-
canL2.dll
-
CANusb.dll
-
CANusbM.dll
If your application software uses and distributes older versions of these DLL files you will need to update them. The DLL files are part of the driver installation for backward compatibility to our older version 4 API. They are usually installed in the
following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Softing\CAN\CAN Layer2 V5.17\CAN_V4.0x_wrapper\CANusb\Win32
Please copy the DLL files from this directory to the directory of your application software, replacing the older files.
