canFDChannel

Construct CAN FD channel connected to specified device

Syntax

canch = canFDChannel(vendor,device,chanindex)

canch = canFDChannel(vendor,device)

Description

canch = canFDChannel(vendor,device,chanindex) returns a CAN FD channel connected to a device from a specified vendor.

For Kvaser and Vector products, device is a character vector or string that combines the device model and a device index in the same argument, such as 'VN1610 1' or 'VN1610 2' to distinguish one device from another. You can also choose among two MathWorks^® virtual devices, each with two virtual channels.

canch = canFDChannel(vendor,device) returns a CAN FD channel connected to a National Instruments™ or PEAK-System device.

For National Instruments, vendor is the character vector 'NI', and the devicenumber is the interface number defined in the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer.

For PEAK-System devices vendor is the character vector 'PEAK-System', and devicenumber is the device number defined for the channel.

Examples

Create CAN FD Channels for Various Vendors

Create CAN FD channels for each of several vendors.

ch1 = canFDChannel('Vector','VN1610 1',1);
ch2 = canFDChannel('Kvaser','USBcan Pro 1',1);
ch3 = canFDChannel('NI','CAN0');
ch4 = canFDChannel('PEAK-System','PCAN_USBBUS1');
ch5 = canFDChannel('SocketCAN','can0')
ch6 = canFDChannel('MathWorks','Virtual 1',1)

ch6 = 

  Channel with properties:

Input Arguments

vendor — CAN FD device vendor

'MathWorks' | 'Kvaser' | 'NI' | 'PEAK-System' | 'SocketCAN' | 'Vector'

CAN device vendor, specified as 'MathWorks', 'Kvaser', 'NI', 'PEAK-System', 'SocketCAN', or 'Vector'.

Example: 'MathWorks'

Data Types: char | string

device — CAN FD device to connect channel to

character vector | string

CAN FD device to connect channel to, specified as a character vector or string. Valid values depend on the specified vendor.

Example: 'Virtual 1'

Data Types: char | string

chanindex — CAN FD device channel port or index

numeric value

CAN FD device channel port or index, specified as a numeric value.

Example: 1

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Output Arguments

canch — CAN FD device channel

can.Channel object

CAN FD device channel, returned as a can.Channel object, with can.Channel Properties.

Tips

• Use canFDChannelList to obtain a list of available device channels.

• You cannot have more than one CAN FD channel configured on the same NI-XNET or PEAK-System device channel.

• You cannot use the same variable to create multiple channels sequentially. Clear any channel in use before using the same variable to construct a new channel object.

• You cannot create arrays of channel objects. Each object you create must exist as its own individual variable.
