PCI-CAN - Channel API - Read and write on the same port

[lfrancon]

Hello,

If I want to use the channel API, and write and read on the CAN bus, is it nenessary to have a two ports PCI-CAN (one to read, one to write), or can I configure the interface in order to read and write on the same port ?

When I read the API and examples, it seems that I need two ports ?

Thanks to answer me.

Yes, you can both transmit & receive using the same CAN port as long as you use either the Channel API or the Frame API for that port, but not both.
The example VI's generally use two ports to enable communication to be established, since a CAN network must have at least two nodes to function.
