Communicate with PEAK adapter

Hi Zach, 

The Peak USB to CAN adapter was added in IQANdesign 4.06. 12.

There is a mistake that is easy to make when using these devices, for the PEAK adapter to work with the IQAN tools you must install both the CAN device drivers and the API "PCAN-Basic"

The CAN adapter brands that work with IQAN are listed here:

Was this feature removed in later versions of IQAN?  I could have sworn this worked 3 years ago, but now it does not.

I'm on 5.03.8.4723 and I reinstalled the latest drivers from PEAK.

Nothing has been removed, but there has been an update to make the new FD version work. 

What happens if you try with a newer version of IQANrun, e.g. 6.04?

Do you have the same PEAK adapter as you had in the past, or is it a newer model?

Gustav,

Same PEAK adapter.  I upgraded to IQAN RUN 5.07 and now it works.

Thank you.

IQAN RUN 7 die Verbindung mit Peak Dongl wird nicht aufgebaut.

Mit PCAN-View sehe ich das Fahrzeug

If it does not show in IQANrun 7 but works in IQANrun 6, then then it is probably that 64-bit drivers aren't installed. 

For PEAK specifically, also see the above comment about having to install both the drivers and the API.

Hello Gustav Thank you for your support. The driver with the API was the problem it works fine

Hi, does anyone have a step-by-step procedure for this? I received the PEAK adapter on Monday, installed the drivers and API and I still can't get it to work. I'm trying to upload on a MD3 # 20085160. When I try 'FileOperation>Update' using CAN as the communication method, in IQANrun 2 it just shows 'sending to machine' and I see the spinning animation and a loading bar that never fills. If I use PCAN-View I can only select CAN(SJA1000), then I go 'Transmit>New Message>Edit Data>Load From File' then I see only one line of 8 bits, I send that, the adapter goes into 'transmitting' blinking mode, count goes up, nothing happens. Also the file I have is .ida and too old to work with newer IQAN versions.

This may be your problem with trying to use Iqan 2 as it says PEAK only works with 4.06 or later ..."
Requires IQANdesign 4.06, IQANrun 4.06 or IQANanalyze 4.06, or later. Make sure to install both drivers and the correct API, see also Communicate with PEAK adapter / Software / IQAN."
