Install the Vector Driver for VN16xx

Use this guide for Windows devices running CANmeleon VN16xx firmware. Choose the driver for the active firmware mode and use physical channels in Vector applications.

Choose the Driver

Open the Vector Driver Setup download page. Check the driver version for your firmware mode. For the VN1610 example, Windows Device Manager shows driver version 26.10.10.0. The version displayed for a Driver Setup download describes the installer package. If you cannot locate the required driver, contact Vector Support.

Install the Driver

1. Run Vector Driver Setup from the official source. If Windows asks you to confirm the publisher, verify that the digital signature is valid and belongs to Vector Informatik GmbH.
2. In the driver selection screen, choose the component for the active device mode.
3. Complete the wizard and restart Windows if prompted.

Verify the Physical Channels

Connect the adapter and open Windows Device Manager. Under Properties → Driver, check the device’s driver version. Then open Vector Hardware Manager or Vector Hardware Config and verify the physical channels for the detected mode. Assign those channels to the application in CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, or your XL Driver Library application.
