USB 8502 vs USB 8473

[Aleseraf]

Hello,

do the USB 8502 has the same driver interface of the USB 8473?

We have a lot of tools based on the USB 8473 and we need to know if we must update the software.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

I'm pretty sure that the 8473 uses the older NI-CAN driver while the 8502 uses NI-XNET. Since you're on the CVI forum right now, I recommend posting on the Embedded Networks forum to get more specific advice on how to upgrade:
