Example of using kvaser-cl-api to list some device information for any connected devices:

import kvaser_cl_api as cl

c = cl.create_client()
devices = c.scan_for_devices()
for d in devices:
    sn = d.get_serial_number()
    name = d.get_name()
    print(f'- [{sn:06}]: {name}')

    for i in d.get_interfaces():
        status = i.get_status()
        link_state = status.eth_interface_status.link_state
        type_ = status.interface_type
        print(f'   {type_}: {link_state}')

Yielding something along the lines of:

- [000003]: Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD
   InterfaceType.T1: EthLinkState.Up
   InterfaceType.T: EthLinkState.Up
