Issue Details

I am using an NI USB-8502 with NI-XNET and observe that the CAN transceiver continues to bias the CAN bus at approximately 2.5 V on CAN_H and CAN_L after all NI-XNET sessions have been stopped and closed.
When I attempt to set Intf.CAN.TcvrState to place the transceiver into Sleep mode, the operation fails with error -1074384733.

Solution

The error message indicates that the interface must be started before the I/O operation is performed. Start the NI-XNET interface session before setting Intf.CAN.TcvrState to Sleep. The transceiver state can only be modified on an active interface; otherwise, NI-XNET returns error -1074384733. This allows the transceiver to enter Sleep mode and release the CAN bus.
