National Instruments PXI-8461/2 CAN Programming Interface
The PXI 8461/2 (Part Number: 777707-02) is a fast CAN Programming Interface. With the NI-CAN programming, the user can import CAN database documents that use the Vector (.dbc) format. A CAN frame can contain different qualities. When the user imports scale data from the database documents, they can effortlessly change over these qualities into channels with engineering units (as ° C or kPa). The user can also import scale data straightforwardly in an application or in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), where channels can be altered. On the other hand, the user can design channels straightforwardly in MAX. The user can communicate with a specific CAN channel without programming using Test Panel, a straightforward troubleshooting device to experiment with CAN channels. Utilizing a graphical interface, the tool reads CAN data in engineering units and plots or writes to the gadget. To rapidly screen all CAN bus activity, utilize the Bus Monitor, a utility that gives a simple-to-utilize interface to see all CAN movement and log it to a disk. It likewise gives alternatives to control, show, and view bus insights. The PXI 8461/2 has a DB-9 male I/O connector for each channel.
NI Spy is a function included which gives the user a simple method to screen the NI-CAN API calls without having to recompile or rebuild. Utilize it to check that the application is working legitimately, examine issues with the application, or confirm the communication with the CAN gadget. NI Spy progressively catches and shows all NI-CAN API calls made by any applications running in the framework. The device is equipped with 2 ports, has a maximum transfer rate of 1,000 kb per second, and a typical current requirement of 850 mA.
The PXI 8461/2 is operated using the NI-CAN software for Windows NT which is installed before the hardware installation. The device can be programmed using addition software packages like LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or BridgeVIEW. The NI device measures 6.3 x 3.9 in. in physical dimensions.
