Vector

This interface adds support for CAN controllers by Vector.

By default this library uses the channel configuration for CANalyzer. To use a different application, open Vector Hardware Config program and create a new application and assign the channels you may want to use. Specify the application name as app_name='Your app name' when constructing the bus or in a config file.

Channel should be given as a list of channels starting at 0.

Here is an example configuration file connecting to CAN 1 and CAN 2 for an application named “python-can”:

[default]
interface = vector
channel = 0, 1
app_name = python-can

Bus

class can.interfaces.vector.VectorBus(channel, can_filters=None, poll_interval=0.01, bitrate=None, rx_queue_size=256, app_name='CANalyzer', **config)[source]

Bases: can.bus.BusABC

The CAN Bus implemented for the Vector interface.

Parameters:
  • channel (list) – The channel indexes to create this bus with. Can also be a single integer or a comma separated string.
  • poll_interval (float) – Poll interval in seconds.
  • bitrate (int) – Bitrate in bits/s.
  • rx_queue_size (int) – Number of messages in receive queue.
  • app_name (str) – Name of application in Hardware Config.
