1. Introduction
1.1 Scope & Definitions
This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the EvoScann® CANDI
CANbus to USB Converter
1.2 Description
EvoScann® CANDI is designed for use with our range of P-Series Pressure Scanners and allows for
integration of a single scanner with a personal computer running our Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The CANDI is powered over a USB port on your personal computer and operation is enabled by
installation of the required drivers and software provided on the USB Drive.
The CANDI and GUI allow for set-up and configuration of an individual EvoScann® P-Series Pressure
Scanner, where access to a CANbus enabled system is not possible, and provides for simple scanning
and logging, or to allow troubleshooting and fault identification.
Electrical connection can be made to the EvoScann® P-Series Pressure Scanner either via the green
4-way terminal block or fixed ASX Circular Connector. Note, only one scanner should be attached at a
time, using only one connection method.
