The PLIN-USB interface from PEAK-System enables the connection of Windows based PC to a LIN network via USB port. The adapter supports the LIN protocol (ISO 17987) and complies with all LIN specifications through version 2.2. The interface may be operated as a master or a slave. PLIN-View Pro for Windows and the PLIN-API for developing LIN connection applications are included with the interface. (See downloads tab.)
