error 8706 in using frame to channel conv.

[htoton]

Hi,

I am using cRIO and NI 9853 to read/write CAN from/to my application,after reading the user guid I installed f-c-conv.lib 1.0.3 in my host pc.

using the functions now avaiable in the user lib. I am trying to open a *.dbc file and go from there , however i stuck with error 8706;

the file path is normal and the extension of the file that I developed with CanEditor is *.dbc. any thought why I am getting this error message?

Thanks

Hi shimbloo,

I was wondering if you have taken a look at this KB if you are just getting started with the 9853? I was also curious as to what operating system you are using?  Could you also provide me with more information on when the 8706 error is occuring and what text comes with the error message?

Thanks

Thanks Rayan for the reply, the operating system on my host is Windows Xp and on my cRIO 9074 should be VxWorks. I already followed the instruction to install the CAN Frame to Channel Lib. on both Labview WindowsXP and Labviwe RT ( which is my cRIO),

The functions work fine on LabView Windows XP, however when I used the functions in Labview RT I get the error 8706, when the vi deploys to RT something would be changed in the functions. any further thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi shimbloo,

I am wondering what version of the NI 985x Software you are using.  If it is not version 1.3.1, than I would suggest updating to the latest version and trying again.

Hi Ryan,

I have NI 985x latest driver installed in my host computer however still getting the error -8706, one thing that I should have told you befor is I am trying to open the dbc file from my host computer, do I need to install the dbc (or ncd) in to the cRIO real time?

Thanks

Hi shimbloo,

Yes, you should move the DBC file to the cRIO and there are a couple of ways that you can do that, including the use of Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows Explorer or another FTP utility.  You can also do this through LabVIEW using the provided VI snippet.

Hi Ryan, 

I sent the ncd file to RT using MAX, but I have no clue where in RT memory it is located! how can I give the file path addrees to 'open ncd file' function? in the attched example I used my PC file path to open the ncd file but did not find it. Thanks for the help.
