NI-Xnet: start / stop trace recording automatically

[Sebastian.Weber]

Hi!

I have a setup where LV communicates with devices via a NI XNet LIN interface, and would like to record a trace of the entire communication.

The XNet Busmonitor would be the correct tool, but... it can't be started and stopped automatically.

The point is, there is a strange behavior for a few of about 1000 devices per day, which I want to track down. Therefore, I want to start a trace when a new device is connected, stop it when it's disconnected, and then decide to keep or delete the trace.

I don't want to write my own trace tool for this. Is there anything ready to use, so I just have to start/stop it?

Hi,  You need to write your own trace tool for it.

If you search the NI Example Finder in Help >> Find Examples, there is a couple of examples used as a starting point.  I found one named CAN Input Stream to TDMS Logfile.vi
