How to read a Characterist declared as ASCI on A2L file using NI ECU Measurement and Calibration Toolkit?

[Fhmoreno]

I have a characteristic declared as seen below in a A2L File:

/begin CHARACTERISTIC Sw_Id "Identification string for software build"
ASCII 0xCF45 __UBYTE_Z 0 NO_FORMULA 0 255
ECU_ADDRESS_EXTENSION 0x0
EXTENDED_LIMITS 0 255
NUMBER 32
/begin IF_DATA ASAP1B_CCP
DP_BLOB 0x0 0xCF46 32
/end IF_DATA
/begin IF_DATA CANAPE_EXT
100
LINK_MAP "Sw_Id" 0xCF45 0x0 0 0x0 0 0x0 0x0
DISPLAY 0 0 255
/end IF_DATA
/end CHARACTERISTIC

I tried every kind of MCcharacteristicRead with no success. Anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

Why can’t you try to use basic LabVIEW I/O functions?

Read your text and do string manipulations get your required data.

I myself have not had good success with the ASCII declaration.  Instead, try the VAL_BLK declaration which seems to work better from my experience.  We have also configured the Link_Map line with 0x87 in the second to the last spot.  Not sure what it does as the enum data type, but it seems to work. (LINK_MAP "Sw_Id" 0xCF45 0x0 0 0x0 0 0x87 0x0).

/begin CHARACTERISTIC SW_ID ""

VAL_BLK 0xCF45 __UBYTE_Z 0 NO_FORMULA 0 255

EXTENDED_LIMITS 0 255

NUMBER 32

/begin IF_DATA ASAP1B_CCP

KP_BLOB 0x0 0xCF45 4

/end IF_DATA

/begin IF_DATA CANAPE_EXT

100

LINK_MAP "SW_ID" 0xCF45 0x0 0 0x0 0 0x87 0x0

DISPLAY 0 0 255

/end IF_DATA

/end CHARACTERISTIC
