Cannot simulate PXI-8513

[carl078]

Hello, I tried to create a simulated PXI-8513 with MAX to test CAN BUS protocol but I can't see PXI-8513 card in MAX. 

I installed NI-XNET 20.5 according to my environment compatibility (Labview 2017).

NI-XNET devices cannot be simulated, unfortunately.

Thanks for your answer. 

How can I test a CAN BUS TX/RX without the hardware device? Can I do something like a loopback?

No, you cannot test CAN communication using NI-XNET without actual hardware. You need actual hardware to do loopback.

Is it possibile with NI-CAN ?

[ZYOng]

NI-CAN does support virtual devices.

However, NI-CAN is obsolete and not recommended for new development. Although you can run the NI-CAN API on an NI-XNET device using a compatibility library, not all features are supported.

Is there a way to test that I can write a proper frame with my .dbc ?

I mean a vi that:

1) loads .dbc

2) takes an float value

3) displays a proper CAN BUS frame just before physically transmits it.

You can use the XNET Conversion Session. See the shipping examples for reference.
