Description

Set a name that describe your use of the CANAL driver.

Path to driver

Set the path to the driver. The button to the right allow you to find the driver on your disk.

Device configuration string

Set the configuration string for the driver. This string is defined for each driver and usually consist of a number of semicolon separated values that configure the driver. With the wizard button, you can get interactive help to set the values for your driver. But only if the driver manufacturer added this functionality to the driver.

Device flags

This is a 32-bit value that you can set for the driver. Bits have different meaning for different CANAL drivers. You can enter the value as hexadecimal by preceding the value with "ox" or binary by preceding the value with "0b" or octal by précising the value with "0o" or just as a decimal value.

Data rate

Rarely used but can be used to set data rate for the driver. The parameter is normally set in the configuration string. The test button can be used to see if the driver really is a CANAL driver and that it is available.

Filter wizard

You can use the filter wizard to set an incoming filter (or use the input fields directly). It consists of a filter and a mask.
