Overview

Channels represents a field in the data of a specific ID, scaled to a floating point value in physical units (such as Volts or Revolutions-per-minute). The USB-CAN hardware supports the "Frame API" only. How can I use my ECU MC or Channel API based applications with USB-CAN?

The Frame Channel Conversion Library is a collection of VIs for fast conversion of CAN frames to scaled channel information. It can be used on Windows Windows 32 bit, Pharlap ETS, and VxWorks. This allows users of 90xx CompactRIO devices running VxWorks to perform fast conversions. The library also may be used to perform fast conversions on 900x CompactRIO devices running Pharlap ETS, and can handle conversions for USB CAN devices as well.

You can download the Code Library from the Link below.
