Informative Parameters
These parameters are intended to give information about the status of the different components of the API, that is, about the API itself, as well as about the Hardware (device firmware and driver version). Depending on the current state of these components, features may or may not be available.
To be sure that a PCAN-Basic software works properly with a specific hardware, it is a good idea to check version parameters at the beginning (after connection). In this way, it can be ensured that the software will work for end users as it was working at development time.
Note that when dependences between a PcanParameter and the API and/or driver/firmware Version appear, they will be notified and remarked in the documentation of the API.
