NI-XNET includes several tools, which enable you to analyze network traffic, troubleshoot issues, configure NI-XNET hardware, and verify configuration.

  • Bus Monitor—Displays statistics for CAN, FlexRay, or LIN frames. This is a basic tool for analyzing CAN, FlexRay, or LIN network traffic.
  • IP Stack Info—Returns configuration information about active IP stacks on a local or remote target system. Use this tool to troubleshoot issues and verify that IP stacks are created correctly.
  • NI I/O Trace—Monitors, records, and displays function calls to APIs such as the NI-XNET API. This tool helps in debugging application programming problems.
  • NI-XNET Database Editor—Enables you to view and manage automotive databases for CAN, CAN/FD, FlexRay, and LIN networks.
  • Port Configuration Utility—Provides basic functionality to configure NI-XNET devices. You can update firmware and perform a self-test on NI-XNET devices, rename ports, and perform a port blink. The Port Configuration Utility can configure hardware on Windows hosts only.
