Compatibility Manual

Using our USB-CAN TOOL software can play the best performance of the equipment), when you use mainstream CANTest software to operate our USB-CAN-B, there may be a few functions that can hardly be used cannot compatible with mainstream CANTest software temporarily, but will not affect the use of normal functions.

When using mainstream CANTest Software to operate our USB-CAN-B, Compatible part includes: Baud rate setting, Filter settings (partially compatible), Standard Frame \Extern Frame \ Remote Frame \ Data Frame transmission and reception, and so on.
Those temporary incompatible functions include:
1. When starting the software, in the "Select Device" dialog box, select the baud rate (The baud rate under 10kbps does not support) when starting up mainstream CANTest software, the "Select Device" dialog box filled in the initial parameters will pop up, which has a drop-down list of baud rates, including 10 kinds of common baud rates ranging from 5kbps to 1000kbps and others, As shown in the figure below:

Our USB-CAN-B does not support the baud rate under 10kbps, so the list 5kbps baud rate parameter is invalid:
