Issue Details

I would like to use PXI-8531 for Basic CAN Communication. Is this possible?

Solution

PXI-8531 does not use the NI-XNET driver but NI-Industrial Communications for CANopen.

 

You cannot use it for basic CAN communication with DBC database file.

The important of the EDS file is done via the utility in LabVIEW. See Using EDS Files With NI-IndCom for CANopen
