NI USB-8476 pinout or "getting started" request

[TeraEngineer]

Hi,

I have NI USB-8476 device, but I do not manage to find the starter guide to find the pinout (maybe because its status is obsolete?).

Could you help ?

Thank you in advance,

Pins 2 and 7 are the typical ones used on most CAN hardware, with CAN Low on pin 2, and CAN High on pin 7.

EDIT: Crap this is a LIN device not CAN.  Ground looks like pin 3 or 6, VBat on pin 9, and data for LIN on pin 7. Page 13  Weird that I can't find much for documentation, but I'm pretty sure the pinout didn't change for XNet devices.

Also you may have a hard time using this.  I believe this uses the older "NI-CAN" drivers and API which I don't think has been updated in a while, since XNet drivers and devices have replaced this product line.  The last release of NI CAN was released over 3 years ago.

Hello Hooovahh,

Thank you for your reply. This is what I got at this link.

I have opened another topic here regarding the use of this NI USB-8476 device on my lin BUS. Could you please take a look ?
