How Can I Set Custom Baud Rates on NI-XNET Devices?

How can I set custom baud rates for NI-XNET devices?

NI recommends users to set baud rate value using database.

1. Launch NI-XNET Database Editor.
2. Open the database file. Select the CAN Cluster you wish to modify.
3. Under CAN Cluster Properties, select <Custom> from Baud Rate drop down menu.

4. Configure the custom baud rate.

To configure custom baud rate of a CAN interface programmatically, write the hexadecimal value from the custom baud rate dialog to Interface:64bit Baud Rate or Interface:CAN:64bit FD Baud Rate property.

1. Place a property node on your block diagram by going to the Measurement I/O palette >> XNET >> Session Node. Once you have dropped down the node on the block diagram, click the section under XNET Session and navigate to Interface >> 64bit Baud Rate. Navigate to Interface >> CAN >> 64bit FD Baud Rate for CAN FD.
2. Copy the hexadecimal value from the custom baud rate dialog to the constant or the control and wire the value to the property node.

3. Format the input value into hexadecimal representation if necessary. Right click the constant or the control and choose Display Format... then select Hexadecimal.
