can a NI_CAN (PCMCIA) controller support GMLAN bus-based Instrument

[LabVIEW, Multifunction DAQ and CAN]

Please let me know whether a PCMCIA NI-CAN Card can directly be connected to a device which uses GMLAN 3110 bus for communication.

NI's CAN cards are electrically compatible with GMLAN, however you need to make sure that you pick the same physical layer as GMLAN. For example, high-speed, low-speed, single wire, etc... If you have more specific questions please repost. Thanks!

I am looking for an example for a GMLAN application using the lowspeed singlewire bus in LabVIEW.  I have a PXI 8464 2 port Can card.  I am looking to simulate the GM controller to test audio devices that are GMLan Compliant.  To start, I simply want to send the primary mode and secondary mode power messages at random intervals, but eventually plan on building a smart simulator to add in other components on the Lan as well. 
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately, as of right now, NI does not have any LabVIEW examples for a GMLAN application.  There are several CAN examples that ship with LabVIEW.  You might be able to use/modify one of these.  You can find them in LabVIEW by going to Help>>Find Examples... Once the NI Example Finder is opened, go to the search tab and type "CAN" this will bring up a list of different examples and a description of what they do.  Hope this helps!

Yup, Can bus config vi in the frame example generates an error.  Since not much is going on and it goes straight into a dll, it is not much help.  I will keep plugging though, thanks
