USB CAN Bus Interface

Hello,
I plan connecting a Motion Control Board via a CAN Bus/USB adaptor to the USB port of my laptop having Matlab.
I have used MATLAB via RS-232/USB adaptors to read and write.
This is the first time I plan doing it on a USB/CAN Bus interface.
I assume, from MATLAB persepctive, it must not be that different whether it is RS-232/USB or CAN BUS/USB adaptor. The same procesure must work. Correct?
I also assume any CAN Bus/USB adaptor that I buy from Amazon would work. Or is there any specific recommendations?
Thanks for sharing your experinec and knowledge in this regard.
