Remarks

The PCANBasic class collects and implements the PCAN-Basic API functions. Each method is called just like the API function with the exception that the prefix "CAN_" is not used. The structure and functionality of the methods and API functions is the same.

Within the .NET Framework from Microsoft, the PCANBasic class is a static, not inheritable, class. It can (must) directly be used, without any instance of it, e.g. :

TPCANStatus res;
// Static use, without any instance
//
res = PCANBasic.Initialize(PCAN_USBBUS1,PCAN_BAUD_500K);

Within Python, a variable must be instantiated with an object of type PCANBasic, in order to use the API.

# Object instantiation
#
objPCAN = PCANBasic()
res = objPCAN.Initialize(PCAN_USBBUS1, PCAN_BAUD_500K)

Note that this class under Delphi is called TPCANBasic.
