Hi, Suppose I am transmitting a signal using say Signal Single-Point onto the bus from my XNET card. I want to make sure that the signal has successfully transmitted onto the network (after e.g. repeatedly losing arbitration) before I stop the interface. I understand that by default (while the session property "Single Shot?" is off), the card will repeatedly retry according to CAN protocol, but if I stop the interface before it wins arbitration, that doesn't help anymore. Can I check this by the "Number of Values Pending" property? The documentation didn't seem to clear to me about how this property behaves for arbitration loss. Is there another way aside from having a simultaneous read session with the "Echo Transmit" property enabled? That would obviously work but would complicate the routine more than I would like. Thanks

XNET behavior when arbitration loss occurs: CAN

I should add also: the single point mode is arguably the root of the evil here. If I could do it all over again I would never have used this mode for any of my drivers, but when first starting out it seems like the obvious thing to do if all you want to do is write one item.

It truly is the Express VI of XNet.
