# SetBitRate Method - neoVI API

This method sets bit rates for networks on neoVI devices

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="C/C++ Declare" %}

```cpp
int _stdcall icsneoSetBitRate(void * hObject, int iBitRate, int iNetworkID);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Visual Basic .NET Declare" %}

```vbnet
Public Declare Function icsneoSetBitRate Lib “icsneo40.dll” (ByVal hObject As IntPtr, ByVal BitRate As Int32, ByVal NetworkID As Int32) As Int32
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="C# Declare" %}

```csharp
[DllImport(“icsneo40.dll”)] public static extern Int32 icsneoSetBitRate(IntPtr hObject, Int32 BitRate, Int32 NetworkID);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**Parameters**

hObject

\[in] Specifies the driver object created by [OpenNeoDevice](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/basic-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/openneodevice-method-intrepidcs-api.md).

iBitRate

\[in] Specifies bit rate setting. Valid values depend on the network specified.

> For the networks NETID\_HSCAN, NETID\_MSCAN, NETID\_SWCAN, NETID\_FIRE\_HSCAN2, NETID\_HSCAN3, NETID\_LSFTCAN, valid bit rates are 2000, 33333, 50000, 62500, 83333, 100000, 125000, 250000, 500000, 800000, 1000000
>
> For the networks NETID\_LIN, NETID\_ISO2, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN2, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN3, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN4, valid bit rates are
>
> For the network NETID\_FIRE\_CGI valid bit rates are 625000 and 115200

iNetworkID

\[in] Specifies the network. The valid values are:

> NETID\_HSCAN, NETID\_MSCAN, NETID\_SWCAN, NETID\_FIRE\_HSCAN2, NETID\_HSCAN3, NETID\_LSFTCAN, NETID\_LIN, NETID\_ISO2, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN2, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN3, NETID\_FIRE\_LIN4, NETID\_FIRE\_CGI

These values are defined in the icsnVC40.h file

**Return Values**

1 if the function succeeded. 0 if it failed for any reason. [GetLastAPIError](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/error-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/getlastapierror-method-intrepidcs-api.md) must be called to obtain the specific error. The errors that can be generated by this function are:

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_INVALID\_NETID = 8

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_NEOVI\_NO\_RESPONSE = 75

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_RED\_INVALID\_BAUD\_SPECIFIED = 122

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_SEND\_DEVICE\_CONFIG\_ERROR = 229

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_GET\_DEVICE\_CONFIG\_ERROR = 230

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_UNKNOWN\_NEOVI\_TYPE = 231

**Remarks**

The specified network must exist on the connected neoVI device.

### Examples

{% tab title="C/C++ Example:" %}

```cpp
int iRetVal;

iRetVal = icsneoSetBitrate(hObject,  500000, NETID_HSCAN);
if(iRetVal == 0)
{
    printf("\nFailed to set the bit rate");
}
else
{
    printf("\nSuccessfully set the bit rate");
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="C# Example:" %}

```csharp
int iResult;

//Set the bit rate
iResult = icsNeoDll.icsneoSetBitRate(m_hObject, 500000, NETID_HSCAN);
if (iResult == 0)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Problem setting bit rate");
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Visual Basic .NET Example:" %}

```vbnet
Dim iResult As Integer
'//Set the bit rate
iResult = icsneoSetBitRate(m_hObject, 500000, NETID_HSCAN)
If (iResult = 0) Then MsgBox("Problem setting bit rate")
```
