CAN MAX settings

I have an automotive application that requires specific CAN settings. The setting given are for Vector CANOE,
how do I interpret them for setting into the CAN advanced setting in MAX under board properties?
The settings are:
The subdivision of 1bit(Tq) is 16
The value of REsynchronize jump width (RJW) is 4Tq
The sampling of the bit is carried out on the 12th Tq of the bit (i.e. at 75% of bit).

Hi

It would be easier if you know the baudrate. In this case you could klick to the Baudrate Button within the Advanced Dialog Box. Enter your Baudrate within the the next window and click the Create List Button. Now you can choose the Register Values for your specific Sample Point.

Thank you very much the create list has given me the option of setting for 75%. I would still like to clear in my own mind how the relevent value of baud rate prescaler and time before sample etc. relate between the Vector CAN and NI CAN? Do you know where there is a better NI doc to define these?
Thanks Again

Ni is calculating the values using the formula from the CAN spec. You can find these within a lot of CAN books or within the spec. The MAX Baudrate tool has a small explanation about the terms used. But in general this is not confidentila and well defined within spec. Perhaps Vector could clarify there definitions used within their tools?
