Installation Manual
Menu option changes apply to the entire CAN2-002 module so they are universal across all of the
outputs.
The options within the File, Edit and Help drop down menus are fairly self explanatory other than the
Update Library option.
The Update Library menu option under File is used to update the CAN message library. If new CAN
messages have been added or you have requested a specific CAN message, LPE or your LPE dealer
may send you an updated CAN message library file (Gauge Driver Message Library or ".GDF" file) and
then you would use this menu option to import that file.
The Settings and Communications drop down menus are explained in more detail in the following sub-
sections.
