NI-CAN ASCII-Terminal

[wrapper]

CAN Terminal :

I wrote a small and simple NI-CAN Text-Terminal VI for use with Ni-CAN Hardware like PCMCIA Card.

It supports ASCII communication Terminal-style via CAN to remote Device.

Also you may define multible receive frames for capturing measurements for example.

Hope you find it usefull.

Update: CAN_Terminal_1.vi

a little update of the VI. forgot to connect the shiftregister through all the CASES.

Now scroll at end of page.

I used this VI to debug a remote CAN-Device.

 I experimented a lot with a TextBox on how it interprets CR and LF codes.

Its like this:

Either CR or LF or CRLF are all converted to CRLF in the TextBox.

So you cannot stay in a row on the Terminal to repeatedly display a value and CR at end.

The linefeed.jpg show an example of this.

   

These conversions also take place in the ByteArray-to-String Tool.

Also a TextBox only accepts Data of Type String, not Type ByteArray. I am missing some simple Byte-Handling Tools in LV.
