Running Self Test of PXI8464 from the DLL

[MikeWGeo]

Is it possible to run the self test, normally performed in MAX, from the DLL in an application?  If not, are there any methods for verifying basic functionality of the card from the application?  The verbage of the "self-reception" indicates that another interface must receive the message for the sending interface to have the message put in the received buffer.

Hello MikeWGeo,

The self-reception property specifies whether to echo successfully transmitted CAN frames as received frames. Each reception occurs just as if the frame were received from another CAN device.  This way, everything you transmit from the port will also be received at the port.  This can be a way of testing if the card is transmitting and receiving correctly, since there is no way of performing a self-test programmatically.

Have a great weekend.

If you have  two port card, you can also look at this.
