Write Confirmation With LIN-API

I am using .net to write a high level api for the PCAN-USB Pro FD for LIN. I would like to know if writes to a LIN slave are guaranteed or if I need to do a read afterward to confirm that the writes have been applied. I'm used to working with modbus where a read after write is needed.

Hello

Note that API calls that return LIN_ERR_OK succeeded, for example, calling LIN_Write will return OK, if the message could be written on the LIN network.

Nevertheless, the API receives no feedback from any Slave about configuring it, so you have to check yourself if your slave could receive, understand and configure the information you have sent to it.
