The National Instruments USB-8470 Series 1-Port USB CAN and LIN Interfaces are designed to provide high-speed USB interfaces for connecting your PC to controller area network (CAN) or local interconnect network (LIN) networks and devices. With its optional hardware synchronization versions, the National Instruments USB-8470 Series 1-Port USB CAN and LIN Interfaces will feature a three-pin COMBICON synchronization connector. With this connector, the user can use 1 MHz, 10 MHz, or 20 MHz clocks to synchronize the internal hardware timebase with other devices such as USB CAN; USB LIN; and National instruments data acquisition, motion, and vision hardware. This form of synchronization will eliminate clock drift between devices and enable triggering between devices for correlating CAN data with data from other devices.

The National Instruments USB-8470 Series interfaces are ideal for a wide variety of applications, including monitoring and logging in-vehicle networks, bus load monitoring, device validation with synchronized data acquisition, CAN device development and test, and correlating CAN and LIN data with external measurements. The convenient all-in-one design of the USB-8470 Series features a captive 2 m USB cable and built-in transceiver, requiring no extra cables or accessories to get applications running quickly. With hardware time-stamping, the user can log messages with microsecond-accurate timestamps for reconstructing network events and correlating data across synchronized devices.
