I have a program I wrote last year(2013). I using LabView 2012 SP1. I need to make updates to my program but when I run it, I get an error

-107438895.

I am using a NI-9171 and a NI-9862. Driver Name NI-DAQmx Version 9.8.0f3

I do have a seperate power source for it, set at 24VDC.

I have for software:

NI-CAN 2.7.5

NI-DAQmx-Device Driver 9.8

NI-DAQmx Max Configuration 9.8

NI-XNET 1.8

Max Version 14.0.0f0

I can see the can unit in Max. I can reset it. The firmware is current. The self test is successfull.

below is my set up

where does the error claim to be coming from?

That error is CanErrBadIntfName. You are using the NI-CAN API with the NI-XNET hardware.

Questions:

1. Are you using the compatibility layer?
2. Do you have it properly installed? In the installer for NI-XNET it is listed as "NI-XNET Compatibility Layer for NI-CAN"
3. Why are you using the NI-CAN API instead of the native NI-XNET API?

Sorry for the delay answering I did not select the autonotification.

To answer your very first question. NI-CAN Configure Network Interface Object (ncConfigCANNet.vi)

the next 3 questions

1. I am not sure. I wrote the program almost 2 years ago..

2. I do not remember installing NXNET when I did the installetion but MAX is showing I haveNI-NXNET 1.8

3. When I was do this can set up I was in a time crunch and also I have never done can before I was learning at the same time. I try XNET but I have better results with NI-Can at that time so I just when with it.

If you are using a 9861, then you must have the XNet drivers installed, it won't work without it.

Also if you are using the ncConfigCANNet.vi you are using the older NI-CAN library, which means you must be using the compatibility layer software allowing you to use the old library on new hardware.

It sounds like you don't want a re-write but I would not recommend these NI-CAN driver for any hardware that supports XNet.  It is different functions, but much more functionality.

Hi:

You were right I did not properly install the XNet compatability. I fact I did not had it installed, after the installetion my  progrm works ok.

Thanks for the help.
