Hello,

AFAIU you try with pcanview to watch the CAN bus through a device that is already in use by another application (see the "Already in use" message). Changing the settings of an opened device is not possible. Moreover, the pcan driver is not able to forward the CAN frames read from the CAN bus to several clients at the same time.

Regards,
