Make sure you have all of the following items before you attempt to install 
the hardware and software:

❑

Windows NT 3.51 or later installed on your computer

❑

One of the following CAN interfaces, which is included in your kit:

PCI-CAN
PCI-CAN/2
PCMCIA-CAN
PCMCIA-CAN/2

❑

The following 3.5 in., high-density (1.44 MB) disks, which are 
included in your kit:

❑

PCMCIA-CAN cable, which is included in your kit, if you have a 
PCMCIA-CAN or PCMCIA-CAN/2

❑

CAN interface cables that meet the requirements in Appendix B, 

The National Instruments CAN hardware supported under Windows NT 
includes the PCI-CAN, PCI-CAN/2, PCMCIA-CAN, and 
PCMCIA-CAN/2

The PCI-CAN and PCI-CAN/2 are completely software configurable 
and compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification. With a PCI-CAN 
or PCI-CAN/2 board, you can make your PC-compatible computer with 
PCI Local Bus slots communicate with and control CAN devices.

The PCMCIA-CAN and PCMCIA-CAN/2 are Type II PC Cards that are 
completely software configurable and compliant with the PCMCIA 
standards for 16-bit PC Cards. With a PCMCIA-CAN card or 
PCMCIA-CAN/2 card, you can make your PC-compatible notebook with 
PCMCIA sockets communicate with and control CAN devices.

The PCI-CAN and PCMCIA-CAN interfaces each have one CAN port. The 
PCI-CAN/2 and PCMCIA-CAN/2 interfaces each have two CAN ports.
