NI-CAN 64 bit

[Wolfgang]

Hello,

one of my projects is a data acquistion and control software that includes several CAN modules. I want to migrate this project to 64 bit. One of the problems seems to be that the CAN library that installs with CVI is not available in 64 bit.

When asking in the CAN forum I was told that I'd better move to NI-XNET... Before starting to learn new stuff I wanted to hear the recommendations of CVI users or the NI-CVI team...

Thanks!

Hello Wolfgang,

the NI-XNET driver is the new generation of the NI CAN, LIN and Flexray driver.

So it's strongly recommended to move to the new NI-XNET driver becaus the NI-CAN driver will be obsolet in the near future.

Here the Link to the X-NET Support Page where you can find every informations also how to migrating NI-CAN Applications to NI-XNET and so on.

Kind Regards,

Thank you...

"Every information" also seems to imply that older PCI-CAN boards (Series 1) are not supported by XNET... So I either have to stick to 32 bit software or buy a new interface board...

From my local NI representative I have learnt that also Series 2 CAN boards (which is what I have) are not supported by the new XNET driver
