Dear All,
I didn't found any practical getting started guide to this topic, please help me.
I have an NI LIN card on one side. On the other side, I have many LIN-communicating devices. They can mechanically open / close. For the slaves (pump) I have the documentation (protol description understood by the uController inside). To set them to a certain position, I have to send a signal e.g. starting with 0x17 (ID field), then 7 additional bytes, starting with NAD, then the parameters.
This part I understood, until this point, it is a well-known and widely used definition of the communication. My problems start here. I have installed the NI-XNET package, read many tutorials, descriptions, from bird's view I'm familiar with, but I'm a bit confused how to start communication with the device relally. Where should I put this eight bytes among the XNET VIs? The physical port where the device is connected is defined by the user somehow.
What was really helpful for me, a let's say "flowchart" with the XNET VIs, starting that point that I connect an unknown device (pump) - actually, the eight bytes to send are defined by the type, which I know - and I would like to configure it, ater that ask for some info (the frame for that is also written in the device documentation), e.g. position, error etc.
Thank you in advance for any help!
