I need a piece of hardware to acquire CAN signals in Dasylab while simultaneously using Iotech Wavebook analog voltage input hardware to measure strain, temperature and other analog measurements - any suggestions?

Hello rboudr70,

"... CAN signals in Dasylab while simultaneously using Iotech Wavebook ..." - For this job you needs a hardware based solution, the timing to take over any CAN telegrams is direct to clock from Iotech Wavebook hardware timer. I'm affraid there is no solution for you. We have 4 CAN drivers into our current DASYLab 11.x version:

(1) NI-DAQmx + NI-CAN
(2) NI-CAN

(3) Ixxat-CAN

(4) Vector-CAN

(2) ... (4) There is no way to take over the timing from Iotech Wavebook into the CAN interface card(s).
(1) Here is possible to synchronize simultaneously NI-DAQmx devices and CAN interface card(s). But only for NI products, not for your Iotech Wavebook.

You can use your Iotech Wavebook together with (2) ... (4) but only software clocked! So you get an jitter between your Iotech device signals and CAN telegrams.

Best regards,
MHa
