Initialization of PCAN-miniPCIe(dual Channel)

[abhishek1808]

Dear All

I am using a miniPCIe (2 Channels).
The Card is on Bus 6 (Firmware 1.3.0)
The initialization function PCANBasic.Initialize( channel, baudrate, canType,IOPort,interrupt);

Question
1. What shall be the Channel name as I was not able to determine it from the documentation about PCAN basic API?
2. Shall the IOPort be 6?

I am not able to successfully initialize the module.
Language C# (.NET 4.1)
Thanks in advance

Hello,

1. What shall be the Channel name as I was not able to determine it from the documentation about PCAN basic API?

Channels are listed as they were registered in a computer, staring with one. Since you only have a card with two channels, then you have to use PCAN_PCIBUS_1, and/or PCAN_PCIBUS2. This is also documented:

You also can take a look at the several sample projects that are delivered together with PCAN-Basic. In there is explained how to check for availbale channel and their names.

2. Shall the IOPort be 6?

No, you don't need to specify any IOPort. This is only needed if you are using NOT plug & paly hardware (e.g. ISA cards). PCANBasic.Initialize has two overloads. You has picked the wrong one:

Please try connecting the module with any of the sample projects you have received with the PCAN-Basic packages. There is also a compiled one (exe file) that you can just start and try.
