1 Introduction and Overview
Introduction
The AP0200A is a general-purpose interface tool, providing access to multiple
channels of CAN-FD. The AP0200A can be used to monitor and transmit on CAN
and CAN-FD networks. It can also create hardware simulations for network
analysis.
The AP0200A has improved CAN-FD support, greater performance, more robust
case, and connectors.
