Need help with J1939 on NI USB-8473

[Kommes]

I just recently purchased a NI 8473 with hopes to aquire Engine Speed and Vehicle Speed over J1939 CAN Bus.

I have no idea where to start.

I learn very well from example so a simple VI to get me started would be nice. 

I am using Labview 2009.

Kommes,

We have some good reference examples for using J1939 with our CAN devices here. If you are not familiar with the standard, there are quite a few resources to learn up on it as well. 

This document has a good overview, example code, and should get your started!

I tried that and these fail to load.

Stop FGV Commands.ctl

CanFrameTimed.ctl

ncWriteNet.vi

ncReadNetMult.vi

ncGetAttr.vi

ncOpen.vi

ncConfigCANNet.vi

ncNetAttr.ctl

ncClose.vi

Should I have something installed that I do not?

Kommes,

Yes, you need NI-CAN installed, which is the basic API and driver for NI USB CAN interfaces.  The driver CD comes with the device, and you can also get it from the drivers page.

I have already installed NI CAN 2.5.2 and now 2.6.2.

Still no luck finding any of those VIs

I think you need to install 2.6.3 to get LV 2009 support.

Kommes:

I had to install the Simple Messaging Referencing Library (https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/21/simple-messaging-stm-communication-libra...) in order to get the first item on your list to load.  Have you tried that?  I hate to jump into a conversation so late (your last post on this was dated 9/24/2009) but I just got into the forum recently and I'm doing some catchup of my own on some issue avoidance research.  I found the STM library when I loaded the J1939 Transport Reference library.  I also have some questions about that example, but I may call NI first before I post my question if I don't see an answer here somewhere.

Hi I had lots of problem, but reading the NI_CAN and they support only LV8.6 yet, I hope they fix this for 2009 soon. And there is installed under LV8.6/examples/NI-CAN there you find really good samples to modfy.
