BUS INTERFACES CAN Driver for LabVIEW Driver Software for LabVIEW® Functions The CAN driver for LabVIEW supports the simultaneous use of up to eight CAN channels. Other Vector CAN tools and applications that have been created with the Vector XL-Driver-Library can be used at the same time and on the same channels. LabVIEW is a commercial software package for use on standard desktop PCs and laptops. It can be used wherever measurement and analysis data accumulates. The CAN driver for LabVIEW allows you to send and receive CAN signals with LabVIEW that are defined in a CAN database (dbc for-mat) directly from the LabVIEW application. Application Areas The CAN driver for LabVIEW can be used in all phases of the devel-opment The following CAN hardware interfaces are supported: > CANcardXL > CANcardXLe > CANcaseXL > CANcaseXL log > CANboardXL > CANboardXL PCIe > CANboardXL pxi > VN7600 and production of vehicles, where a signal oriented analy-sis 2/35 and evaluation of CAN messages with LabVIEW in combination with Vector hardware is required. Requirements > LabVIEW version 7.0 or later > Vector CAN hardware interface > Vector driver for CAN hardware version 5.2 or higher Features and Advantages The CAN driver for LabVIEW accesses the CAN signals exclusively via symbolic names. The CAN raw data is converted automatically into physical values using conversion rules from the CAN data-base. Included with Delivery > DLL driver for LabVIEW > Configuration tool > Manual (PDF file) If the CAN bus configuration is changed (for example bit position, conversion rule) all that is required is to edit the data-base.
