How to start the CAN Bus monitor for a RT Target

Hello...
I'm want to use the Bus monitor sofware from Max to observe the Traffic on a CAN Port (PXI 8461). This device ist on a RT PXI System, running Labview Real Time. Using a Host computer I want to watch the traffic on the CAN Port CANO of the PXI 8461. Can anyone help me? In Attachment u will find a Screenshot of  Max configuration.

Hi deeloc!

The NI-CAN BusMonitor is a Windows application that runs on a CAN port of a local NI CAN card (local in this case means 'on the same Windows system'). Thus, you cannot run the BusMonitor on Windows and read CAN data from a remote (RT) CAN port.
You would need to create a LabVIEW Real-Time application that runs on your RT PXI system. That application could have a front panel on your Windows host.
A starting point for an application like that could be the CAN Receive.vi example.
