Figure 3-1 shows the various windows in GenerateCANStream.vi. Input windows are bordered in red.

• Error Generation:
  • At this point, set the Forcing Error value to ‘None’. Configure this area later when generating CAN frames with errors.
• Configure the AWG (Waveform Generator Properties):
  • Set the appropriate GPIB instrument address.
  • Set the I/O level and gain to the desired levels using the I/O Level and Gain. Verify the levels with an oscilloscope to ensure that they are correct prior to connecting to the CANRX pin of the CAN module or to the CANTX pin of the transceiver.
  • Configure the bit-rate.
• Configure CAN Data Frame:
  • Enter desired Arbitration ID (Message ID).
  • Configure message length (in bytes – DLC).
  • Enter desired data to be transmitted.
  • Choose data frame or remote request.
• Press the Run button on the vi Front Panel to start generating CAN frames.
