Getting channel units and length from .dbc file

[pks]

Can any one help me out. I was wondering how to get Channel units and channel size from the CAN db file similarly like getting channel names from Get Channel Names by Id vi.

Thank you,

Shanth.

Hi Shanth,

You can do this with CAN Get Property.vi.

Place that vi on your block diagram, click on the pull down menu, and pick the properties that you would like.

Hello Sammy,

                     Where can we find this CAN get property.vi. And can we use this vi for USB 8473 along with frame to channel conversion library.

Thank you,

Shanth.

Hi Shanth,

Yes. You can use NI 8473 with the conversion library.

You can find the CAN Get Property.vi by right-clicking on the block diagram of your VI to access the functions palette.  From there choose: Measurement I/O»CAN»Channel API»Advanced»CAN Get Property.vi.  Please note that this is a feature of the Channel API.

Regards,

Hi All,

Is it possible to read the .dbc file by using frame api ? If yes then how ?

Hi

You should be able to read attributes using the "ncGetAttr.vi", Measurement I/O >> CAN >> Frame API >> Advanced. If you look at the detailed help for this VI you will see a list of the attributes it can return.

Let us know if you encounter any issues.

Thanks

Hello TCL,

You would probably have better luck getting help if you create a new thread with your questions.  This thread is quite old, and is related to a different topic than your question.  

With regards to using .dbc files, this is not supported with the Frame API.  You can either access them using the Channel API or from Measurement and Automation Explorer.
