New application CAN nican vs nixnet

[tvervecken]

Hi,

I`m making a new CAN application with USB-8502

When i look at the examples the "nican.h" is the library I need.

But when i look at the internet it looks like the nican.h is old and not recommended for new applications and that I should use "nixnet.h"

Is this correct? Or can I use the nican library?

For my application i want to send/receive custom CAN frames and not use a database file.

Is this possible with the nixnet library?

Hello

Actually, NI-XNET was previously NI-CAN. The latest version of NI-CAN is supported for your hardware but I will suggest you to use NI-XNET because if there will be required application migration, it will be a bit hard for you because NI-CAN and NI-XNET are using different APIs. The NI-CAN 18.5 is the latest version for it. For the future, it will be only NI-XNET.

Also, don't forget to check the compatibility between the driver and a LabWindows versions. You can find the compatibility of the version from the corresponding driver's readme document.
