Use NI-VCOM in LabView through the NI-VCOM API.

NI-VCOM API

The NI-VCOM API provides a signals single-point mode. Using this mode, the signals update with every call of the Write VI. The signals then continue maintaining the cycle time specified in the database or TX_cycletime channel. Event triggered signals send with every value change or by toggling the TX_kickout channel from 0 to 1. To get a message on the wire, you must set all TX_enable channels from the desired node up its hierarchy (PDU » Service » ECU » Bus) to 1. You must use either the Write VI or the Enable VI.

RBSConfig and the Configuration Tool

Two legacy tools are installed with the NI-VCOM Toolkit API:

  • Configuration Tool—Create and edit RBS configurations (select NI-XNET interfaces and databases to use). You can also use the WebUI to complete this configuration. For more information, refer to Configuration Tool.
  • LDF/DBC RBS Descriptor Tools—For LIN .ldf and CAN .dbc databases, you must configure mapping certain signal endings to checksum operations and counter operations. AUTOSAR .arxml databases do not need this additional configuration. For more information, refer to Using RBSConfig.
