Issue Details

Can DIAdem be used with CAN FD, for applications such as monitoring and acquiring data?

Solution

Yes, DIAdem can be used with CAN FD.

The DIAdem NI-XNET driver uses the NI-XNET driver for the communication with the CAN card. Therefore, CAN-FD cards and CAN FD Frames will work with DIAdem, as long as they are supported by the NI-XNET driver.

When using CAN FD with DIAdem DAC, for the NI-XNET Signal Selection, in the Bus Configuration, select the High Speed (HS) Tranceiver option. As CAN FD is the predecessor to High Speed CAN.
