I am running MAX Bus Monitor on a PCMCIA Series 1 CAN Controller (184272F-01) 1 Port with a Series 1 CAN NI Cable (184354B-01). I have been told by the vendor of the CARD I am attempting to communicate to place termination resistors (120ohms) at each end of the cable.
I am using a 29bit arbitration ID (0x18EFE1E3) and trying to send an 8byte message (0000 0000 0000 001B) via MAX under the Test Panel Function. Does MAX put a standard can wrapper on this message to include things such as CRC checksum..etc?
When I send this out in MAX or LabVIEW and run the bus monitor I see nothing happen, if I run NI Spy I see some activity but no response from my device connected to the BUS? If I measure the voltage across CAN_H to CAN_L it stays STATIC throughout. 2.5V on CAN_H and 2.5V on CAN_L is this normal?
Does anyone have any knowlege if the source address for the PCMCIA card matters? If so how do I find that 8 bit address to include in the 29bit arbitration ID?
Sorry for the long message, thank you in advance for any help!!!
