DAB-Embedded introduced its USB2IO interface explorer, a device that connects USB to various I/O interfaces for prototyping and functionality tests of electronic devices with CAN, CAN FD, and CANopen interfaces.

The product combines a protocol analyzer, data-logger, communication interface, an embedded functional test platform, and basic signal generator. The device targets electrical engineers, firmware developers, enthusiasts, and engineering students to communicate with various breakout boards and functional hardware blocks. The product is suitable as a lab or production tool. It facilitates communication with electronics using the 29-bit extended frame format Classical CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, and other interfaces. The CAN Bus modules in USB2IO are compliant with ISO CAN FD (ISO 11898-1:2015) and non-ISO CAN FD (Bosch CAN FD specification 1.0).

Features
