Methods

Setup

Connect to an NI-XNET device and use a database.

The setup methods is where the database to use is defined, for example, the CANdb database file to use, the Cluster in the database to use must also be specified. For database formats (like LIN Description Files) where a Cluster is not used, a default Cluster of “Cluster” will be automatically created by the NI-XNET driver.

The Setup method also provides settings for specific interfaces, where specific configuration is needed to behave properly on the bus.

LIN

SeqZap can be configured to act as a master on the LIN bus using a particular schedule defined in the LIN description file.

LIN busses must have a single master which is responsible for polling the various slave nodes at a given interval.

When setting LIN as master, the interface will also send wake-up frames on the LIN network to wake up any sleeping slaves.

Get Signal

Get the value of a signal.

The data type of the returned value will be an integer or an decimal value, depending on the signal.

Set Signal
