Hi PhilGil,
The NI-CAN error codes all have the 0xBFF62yyy format (so one more digit). Could you please double-check the error code you encountered? There are quite a few possible error codes that are similar to the one you posted.
There are actually a couple of ways to get to the meaning of a particular error code:
- When you are in LabVIEW, add the ‘Simple Error Handler’ VI to the end of your code. The ‘Simple Error Handler’ VI pops up a message with the error code description, in case the error cluster contains an error. Take a look at the NI-CAN example VIs that ship with the NI-CAN driver.
- When you are in LabVIEW, you can create an indicator for the error cluster. If that indicator shows an error, simply right-click on the indicator and select the ‘Explain Warning’ option.
- With NI-CAN comes a small utility, explain.exe. It is by default installed to …\National Instruments\NI-CAN\utilities\. Call this utility from the command line (or Start » Run ) and provide the error code as a parameter
