Parameter Enter SDMCAN PARAMETERS
NumBits
The NumBits parameter is used to specify the number of bits that will be used in a
transaction. The number can range from 1 to 64 (there are 64 bits in a CAN data
frame).
The SDM-CAN can be configured to notify the datalogger when new data is
available by setting a control port high. This allows data to be stored in the
datalogger tables faster than the program execution interval. This interrupt function is
enabled by entering a negative value for this parameter.
Note: This parameter may be overridden by a fixed number of bits, depending
upon the data type selected.
NumVals
The NumVals parameter defines the number of values (beginning with the value
stored in the Dest array) that will be transferred to or from the datalogger during one
operation. For each value transferred, the Number of Bits (NumBits) will be added to
the Start Bit number so that multiple values can be read from or stored to one data
frame.
Mult,
Offset The Mult and Offset parameters are each a constant, variable, array, or expression by
which to scale the results of the measurement.
This instruction cannot be used in a SubScan.
SDMCAN Example 1
The following example reads a 16-bit engine speed value from a CAN-bus
network running at 250K baud.
