Kvaser Memorator Professional (KMP) versus Kvaser Memorator (KM)
- KMP has battery backup in case of power loss. KM doesn’t have battery backup. This is the best reason to sell the KMP. Most customers want to know why there was a power loss and KMP will have data to support the power loss. KM usually loses this data.
- KMP has a shorter boot up time of 250ms. KM has a boot up time of 3000ms.
- KMP can use SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB capacity. KM can only use SD cards up to 2GB.
- All new development will be on KMP. KM will remain unchanged.
- KMP has galvanic isolation (GI). KM doesn’t have GI.
- KMP is USB 2.0 and KM is only USB 1.1.

CANKing
CANKing is a CAN bus monitor and general-purpose diagnostic tool. It is especially suited for interactive development work. CAN messages can be easily sent and the corresponding impact on the target module observed. To use CANKing it is necessary to purchase one of our CAN interfaces such as the Kvaser Leaf USB to CAN converters. It is a free software that comes with the Kvaser product. This product allows the user to see all CAN messages on the bus in either either decimal or hexadecimal forms. It also allows the user to send out simple test messages.
