How can I capture all CAN traffic in VS2009?

[RAlex]

I am debugging CAN communications in VS2009 having the XNET add-on. Frames send fine. Incoming frames look fine monitored externally, but I get value 0 for all channels from incoming frames,

To troubleshoot the issue I would like to see all frames on the bus as VS sees them. I thought that there was an add-on for VS2009 that added this functionality, but it seems to have disappeared now that the functionality has been rolled into VS2010. Could someone please make the add-on available to me? ...or correct my erroneous memory and offer a suggestion on troubleshooting my issue. - thanks

As of my knowledge, the XNET add-on custom device for NIVeriStand 09 neither has the capability of raw frame data logging nor to stream data to the bus monitor.

If you are talking about a generic way to log data, check out the embedded data logging add-on:

If you need raw frame data logging I suggest to modify the source of the XNET custom device. The custom device is open source and fairly simple to modify.

Thanks,

Thank you. This looks like the add-on I was thinking of.

It didn't show up in the searches I tried. Even now "search" does not find "embedded data logger". ¿outside the search engine's scope?

Unfortunately I have to work around some things that have been resolved in VS2010, for a little while longer. It would be helpful to have access to the older documentation (prior to VS2010 release). Is there a link to the "old" add-ons page?

I have 'jinged' they way I got the link:

Whenever you visit a custom device page, there should be multiple downloads available for custom devices which exist in multiple versions of NI VeriStand.

There it was, right there in the list I had looked through. Duh. I'm still perplexed by the lack of the EXACT TITLE of the add-on not coming up in the search. I thought the older add-ons had been removed. My mistake. Thank you for your help. BTW, cool way to "show".

Thanks again.

I think it's not your lucky day today 🙂

I just checked out the search engine on ni.com and it works perfectly fine.
