CAN Simulation

[N3xus_V1be]

Hello All!, 

I'm new to LabVIEW and I was wondering if there was a way to simulate vehicle CAN so I can develop a program to read and report the values. Additionally, I want to be able to create an app on the desktop for a user to open the program and check signals. I don't know if there has been a question already that has been asked or not, so a point in the right direction would be a great help. 

Thank you!

Sure there is a way to simulate a vehicle CAN: write a VI to simulate/create/send all the needed CAN messages you expect from your simulated CAN bus! (There also used to be "virtual" CAN ports so you don't need a real CAN hardware for simulation purposes…)

Again the answer is simple: when you "want to be able to create an app" then you should learn LabVIEW!

As you are "new to LabVIEW" I recommend those "Training resources" offered at the top of the LabVIEW board!
