Send a CAN-message trough panel

[died115]

Hi,

I'm an automation engineer for an automotive company in Belgium.
We are currently developping a panel for our production facility. Since they are easier to read than CAN-messages.

For testing we would like to send CAN-messages via the push of a button on the instrument panel.
I tried different combinations already, in the property window. But none of them seem to work.

I already browsed trough this forum extensively, but they all talk about using macro's for different purposes.
My understanding of Visual Basic is however very little.

Can somebody give me some pointers how to realize sending CAN-messages trough Panel commands?

Best Regards,
Died115

Hi,

simplest solution will be to map a signal to your button, which is defined as a transmit signal in the symbol file. With each change of the button, the message will be transmitted.

Another solution will be, to use a macro (even a very simple standard macro) to send a message when you hit a button in the Instruments panel. Please see the following post:

Hi,

Thanks for your reply Michael.
We are now able to interface with our CAN-devices trough an instrument panel.
