AW: Widely used low level API?

Hello,
Just to add my 2 Eurocents:
Further functions that are nice to have:
-Bus status notification
-Buffer handling
Common API:
Our company has a software for managing our motor controllers (Motion Manager) that uses more than one type of CAN adapter. Currently IXXAT and ESD are supported, but via Plug-In DLLs it's easy to add new ones. We have implemented a common communication layer for those adapters.
If you want to check it out, it can be downloaded from http://www.faulhaber-group.com/images/SetupFAULHABERMoMan4_1_en.exe free of charge. But without a supported card it has a rather limited capability.
Best wishes,
Georg
