Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I am using PCAN-Linux driver 8.10.0. Is it fine to continue with the existing version or i need to upgrade to 8.10.2?
Another doubt is i installed PCAN view as per the link shared by you. No want to know how i can launch this PCAN view tool.

Thanks.
Sai

We do recommend to use the latest driver available,
we actively fix any bugs and introduce new features
with each and every iteration of the driver.

you can launch pcanview just by calling:

pcanview
from terminal.
