Due to the lack of availability of PCAN-USB Pro versions, issues have arisen.

Question: Can two PCAN-USB be used in the same application?

- One PCAN-USB it's automatically set to the CH1
- The problem is with the 2nd PCAN-USB that it's also set to the CH1
- Even if the device id had been changed using PCAN View it can't be used on CH2 of the same APP

It is possible to force the 2nd device to be corelated with the the CH2 ?

Any solution or simple answering if it's possible or not it's welcomed to overcome this lack of hardware components.

Pro: A valid solution would rise the sales of the PCAN-USB version that is available in the stock.

Hello,

yes, it is possible to use two PCAN-USB as you use it with PCAN-USB-Pro FD. Typically the hardware handles for the devices will be enumerated in the driver depending on the order you plug-in the devices, or the boot order of the USB hostcontrollers when booting with both modules connected to the USB ports. To fix the handles, so that one PCAN-USB will always be "channel1 = handle 16" and the second PCAN-USB "channel2 = handle 15", so can use the registry fixation as described in the following post:
