Get Transmit Frame Configuration from Database

Use this dialog to configure all transmit properties from an assigned database alias.

From the Frame List table, select the frame to transmit on the CAN network. The transmission uses the frame properties.

• Selected Database—Displays the selected alias name and database filename. You need to assign a database alias in the Interface and Database Settings dialog.
• Sort by Name—The Frame List is alphanumerically sorted by frame name.
• Sort by Identifier—The Frame List is sorted by the identifier.
• Frame List—Contains all defined frames in the assigned database alias.
  • Frame Name—Shows the frame name as defined in the assigned database.
  • Identifier—Arbitration identifier to transmit in the CAN data frame.
  • Payload Length—Specifies the number of data bytes to transmit.
  • Ext ID?—Specifies whether the frame uses the extended identifier (29 bit) or a standard identifier (11 bit).
  • Timing Type—NI-XNET differentiates between several timing and frame types:
    • Cyclic Data—The CAN data frame is transmitted in a cyclic (periodic) manner. The cycle rate defines the time between cycles.
    • Event Data—The CAN data frame is transmitted in an event-driven manner.
    • Cyclic Remote—The CAN remote frame is transmitted in a cyclic (periodic) manner. The transmitting ECU responds to each CAN remote frame by transmitting the associated CAN data frame.
    • Event Remote—The CAN remote frame is transmitted in an event-driven manner. The transmitting ECU responds to each CAN remote frame by transmitting the associated CAN data frame.
  • Cycle Rate—If the timing type is configured as Cyclic Data or Cyclic Remote, the cycle rate is shown in milliseconds. The cycle rate defines the time between cycles.
  • Comment—Shows the frame comment as defined in the assigned database.
