Vehicle Network Toolbox: How to transmit multibyte messages

Hi everybody,

i can transmit and receive CAN-messages with the help of the VNT and a Vector CANCaseXL when the message is shorter than 8 bytes.

There has to be a possibility to send longer messages in Matlab. Does anybody know how to do this? I use MATLAB R2011b. I can't find anything helpful in the help function.

By the way the BusStatus changes always to 'ErrorActice' when i execute the command:

      start(txCh);

Thanks a lot,

Patrick

The CAN protocol defines messages to be 8 bytes or fewer, and the Vehicle Network Toolbox only supports basic CAN. Are you trying to use another standard that sits on top of CAN that allows longer messages?
