Enable TX Self Acknowledge

[SvenSie]

Hello,

I would like to enable TX Self Acknowledge with PCAN Basic API. How is this possible?

I´m using the PCAN-USB FD and I´m able to use this feature with the PCAN-View Software, but now I would like to use it in a simple test-program.

Hello,

Self-Acknowledge is not implemented in PCANbasic, you would need to use our PCAN-Developer 4 API for that:

That's a pity. I don't think I'm going to get €1700 from my boss just to make one setting (the rest already works fine with PCAN-Basic).
Then I will probably have to take the detour of using PCAN-View in addition.

Is there any other way to get this setting without PCAN-View and PCAN-Developer 4 API?

Hello Sven,

Not on Windows, no.

Our Linux driver supports this feature, using either the CAN 2.0 or CANFD API, please see chapter "5 Developer Guide" staring on page 47:

Alternatively, use a second hardware for acknowledgement.

Another Question:
Is it possible with PCAN-Basic to detect if the "Self Acknowledge" is activated?

I would like to show a hint if this needs to be activated with PCAN-View.

Hello,

no, this is not possible. PCAN-Basic doesn't support Self Acknowledge at all.
