This device features two ports with a maximum transfer rate of 1,000 kb\/s and a typical current requirement of 850 mA. The PXI-8461\/2 enables seamless integration of CAN database documents in Vector (.dbc) format, allowing users to convert CAN frame qualities into engineering units such as degrees Celsius (°C) or kilopascals (kPa). Users can import scale data either directly in the application or through Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), where they can configure channels or modify existing parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the interface supports the Test Panel utility, providing a user-friendly troubleshooting tool for real-time interaction with CAN channels. The graphical interface facilitates data visualization and logging, while the Bus Monitor utility offers comprehensive monitoring of CAN bus activity. The inclusion of NI Spy enhances debugging capabilities by tracking NI-CAN API calls, enabling users to validate application functionality without recompiling code. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanical dimensions of the PXI-8461\/2 are 6.3 x 3.9 inches, featuring DB-9 male I\/O connectors for each channel. This product operates with the NI-CAN software for Windows NT, allowing compatibility with programming environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows\/CVI, and BridgeVIEW. While the PXI-8461\/2 has been designated with a maintenance status by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and servicing through Apex Waves. A three-year warranty is included, with user and maintenance manuals available for download.
