Building a Control PC for Barrett products

You should choose an operating system based on the type of PC hardware you have. The ​Shuttle PC and the ​Travla C137 PC shipped with either a Janz or esd CAN card. Newer WAMs with embedded PCs ship with a Peak CAN card. If you are ambitious, you can use your own PC and CAN card.
