Getting Started with CAN for Windows NT

This chapter describes how to verify the hardware and software 
installation.

You can use the NI-CAN Diagnostic utility, installed with your NI-CAN 
software, to test the hardware and software installation. The utility verifies 
that your hardware and software are functioning properly and that the 
configuration of your CAN interfaces does not conflict with anything else 
in your system.

To run the utility, select the NI-CAN Diagnostic item:

•

Windows NT 3.51:  Double-click on the NI-CAN Diagnostic icon in 
the NI-CAN Software for Windows NT group of the Program 
Manager.

•

Windows NT 4.0 or later: Select Start»Programs»NI-CAN Software 
for Windows NT»NI-CAN Diagnostic.

When you have started the NI-CAN Diagnostic utility, test your CAN 
interfaces by clicking on the Test All button. You can also test one CAN 
interface by highlighting it and clicking on the Test One button. If the 
NI-CAN Diagnostic is successful, it puts a checkmark next to the interface 
and changes its status from Untested to Passed. If the NI-CAN Diagnostic 
fails, it puts an X next to the interface, and changes its status from Untested 
to Failed. Figure 3-1 shows the NI-CAN Diagnostic utility after it has 
tested some CAN interfaces.
