Purpose
Sends a raw CAN frame on the diagnostic CAN ID to check for errors in the transport protocol implementation of an ECU. Format
Input
|
diag ref in specifies the diagnostic session handle, obtained from Open Diagnostic on CAN FD.vi and wired through subsequent diagnostic VIs. Normally, it is not necessary to manually manipulate the elements of this cluster. | ||||||
|
data in is an array of up to 8Â bytes for standard CAN, or up to 64Â bytes for CAN FD, sent as CAN payload on the diagnostic identifier. | ||||||
|
error in is a cluster that describes error conditions occurring before the VI executes. If an error has already occurred, the VI returns the value of the error in cluster to error out.
|
Output
|
diag ref out is a copy of diag ref in. You can wire it to subsequent diagnostic VIs. | ||||||
|
error out describes error conditions. If the error in cluster indicated an error, the error out cluster contains the same information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status of this VI.

Description
Diagnostic Frame Send.vi transmits an arbitrary raw CAN frame on the diagnostic CAN identifier. For example, you can check the transport protocol implementation of an ECU for robustness if erroneous protocol requests are issued.
