Creating a net on a USB PCAN adapter using the KDI Peak vis

[parkerfly]

We are using LabVIEW 8.0 and the KDI peak vi's (http://www.phytec.com/products/can/can-software-development-tools/pcanaddon.html) and are trying to get it to create a new net name on a specific Peak adapter - the setup we are using has 2 USB peak adapters connected to it.  The assumption for use of this software will be that the PC it runs on has 2 Peak adapters on it, but does not have the net name we need, and this code will connect to the 2nd peak adapter and create the correct net name.

Does anyone have any experience with getting the software to create a new net?  We're thinking it is something to do with the CAN_Register_Hardware and CAN_RegisterNet commands, but haven't had any luck nor found any good examples or documentation on using them.

Thanks!

Howdy parkerfly,

You might want to post this question in the CAN & DeviceNet forum. Visitors who frequent that forum will often offer advice on their experience with third party products, but fair warning, these products aren't officially supported by NI. Since Phytec developed this software package, they might be best to contact for examples. For what it's worth, I did find references to the two commands you mention--CAN_Register_Hardware and CAN_RegisterNet--in the PCAN manual on Phytec's side here.

Yeah - that's the same manual we're using, and unfortunatly it's not as descriptive as I'd like 🙂  Thanks for the info!
