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

you can launch pcanview just by calling:
