Using CAN Frame and CAN channel together

[Jim001]

I would like to use set periodic transmission and use CAN channels to communicate with a DUT. Periodic timing is easy with CAN frames but setting up all the data is easier with CAN channels. Has anyone been able to do this?

Hi Jim,

You can also use the CAN Channel API for periodic transmission.

What programming language are you using?. In LabVIEW there is the Waveform Output.vi for CAN. For C the example is the WaveOut.c.

Hope this provides some help.

I am using LABview at the moment. What I really need to know is: Can I use CAN frames and CAN channels on the same port?

from the manual, we can't use them at the same time at the same port.
