Can vector CANoe software can be used to integrate with NI XNET?

[Venki1988]

Can vector CANoe software can be used to integrate with NI XNET hardware?, Is there drivers available for NI XNET PXI card to communicate and talk to Vector CANoe software?. Please help. This would help us reduce creating the Database using LAbVIEW.

CANoe is essentially made to integrate Vector hardware, so you can't directly use NI-XNET interfaces into your CANoe system. There are still a few ways to communication between LabVIEW (or CVI) and CANoe if you need to share data. It includes :

- Using the ActiveX server of CANoe in LabVIEW. It allows LabVIEW to automate most tasks in CANoe and notably write/read data.

- Writing a server/client code based on TCP or UDP to send and receive data. In LabVIEW, it just uses the primitives in the Data Communication palette. In CANoe, the communication can be handled by some code written in a CAPL node.

The first way is slower, but does not require to write code in CANoe. There are also a few examples going around the web :
