Hi all, I'm a newbie to LabVIEW and this forum so please be patient. I will be using a USB-8476 lin adapter in my work. I have loaded the software NI-CAN 2.6.3 into my laptop which runs lv2009 and everything works fine. When I load the same software (NI-CAN 2.6.3) into my laptop running lv2010 I do not get the CAN icon in the functions pallet and my lv2009 lin program will not load in lv2010. I have searched for an update for the CAN 2.6.3 software but have not found any. Does anyone have any information on this?
Thanks in advance.

There's NI-CAN 2.7.2: http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/ps/10/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/q/...
It supports LabVIEW 2010.

Thank you so much. I did a search for CAN 2.6.3 hoping to get some hits about updates but found nothing. What's your secret to finding the newer version?

I clicked on the "Support" button in the main toolbar. Then I clicked on the "Drivers & Updates" link. Then I entered "NI-CAN" in the search text box.
Or, you could have just entered "NI-CAN" in the search box at the top of the web pages.

I don't know if you got your issues fixed yet, but I wanted to confirm that I am also using the USB-8476 with LabVIEW 2010. No problems to get it going and I am using CAN2.7.4.
