'Real time' performance for CAN implementers
With National Instruments' new NI-CAN 1.5 driver software, system
developers can use LabVIEW Real-Time to build applications that analyse,
simulate and control CAN fieldbus devices. The software enables CAN, data
acquisition and motion measurements to be synchronised across a real time
platform, and, as it is designed to work with LabVIEW Real-Time, users
get all those 'real time' benefits such as deterministic closed loop
performance without having to learn the complexities of a real time
operating system. Embedded applications are built in LabVIEW and
downloaded to LabVIEW Real-Time without modification, so the user's
applications runs more reliably without them having to rewrite existing
code. Applications include automotive testing and diagnostics factory
automation and machine control.
