# SetVCAN4Settings Method - neoVI API

This method writes configuration settings to a ValueCAN4-4 device.

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

```cpp
int _stdcall icsneoSetVCAN4Settings(void * hObject, SVCAN4Settings *pSettings, int iNumBytes, int bSaveToEEPROM);
```

{% endtab %}

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

```vbnet
Public Declare Function icsneoSetVCAN4Settings Lib “icsneo40.dll” (ByVal hObject As IntPtr, ByRef pSettings As SVCAN4Settings, ByVal iNumBytes As Int32, ByVal bSaveToEEPROM As Int32) As Int32
```

{% endtab %}

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

```csharp
[DllImport(“icsneo40.dll”)] public static extern Int32 icsneoSetVCAN4Settings(IntPtr hObject, ref SVCAN4Settings pSettings, Int32 iNumBytes, Int32 bSaveToEEPROM);
```

{% 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).

pSettings

\[in] The address of an allocated [SVCAN4Settings](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/svcan4settings-structure.md) structure.

iNumBytes

\[in] This value is always the size, in bytes, of the [SVCAN4Settings](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/svcan4settings-structure.md) structure.

bSaveToEEPROM

\[in] If set to 0, the settings changes will revert to the values stored in EEPROM when the ValueCAN3 is power-cycled. If set to 1, the values will overwrite the EEPROM settings and become persistent across power-cycles of the ValueCAN4-4.

**Return Values**

Returns 1 if successful, 0 if an error occurred. [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\_NEOVI\_NO\_RESPONSE = 75

**Remarks**

Before using this function, the [SVCAN4Settings](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/svcan4settings-structure.md) structure must be initialized with the current neoVI settings using [GetVCAN4Settings](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/device-settings-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/valuecan-4-4-intrepidcs-api/getvcan4settings-method-intrepidcs-api.md).

### Examples

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

```cpp
SVCAN4Settings VCANReadSettings;
int iNumberOfBytes;
int iResult;

//################################
//VCANReadSettings struct is read
//and changed as needed before
//Setting the new values
//################################

iNumberOfBytes=sizeof(VCANReadSettings );
iResult = icsneoSetVCAN4Settings(m_hObject, &VCANReadSettings , iNumberOfBytes, 1);
if(iResult == 0)
{
    MessageBox::Show("Problem Sending VCAN configuration");
    return;
}
```

{% endtab %}

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

```csharp
SVCAN4Settings VCANReadSettings = new SVCAN4Settings();
int iNumberOfBytes;
int iResult;

//################################
//VCANReadSettings struct is read
//and changed as needed before
//Setting the new values
//################################

iNumberOfBytes = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(VCANReadSettings);
iResult = icsNeoDll.icsneoSetVCAN4Settings(m_hObject, ref VCANReadSettings , iNumberOfBytes, 1);

if(iResult == 0)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Problem Sending VCAN configuration");
    return;
}
```

{% endtab %}

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

```vbnet
Dim VCANReadSettings As SVCAN4Settings
Dim iNumberOfBytes As Integer
Dim iResult As Integer

'//################################
'//VCANReadSettings struct is read
'//and changed as needed before
'//Setting the new values
'//################################

iNumberOfBytes = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(VCANReadSettings)
iResult = icsneoSetVCAN4Settings(m_hObject, VCANReadSettings , iNumberOfBytes, 1)

If iResult = 0 Then
    MsgBox("Problem Sending VCAN configuration")
    Exit Sub
End If
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/device-settings-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/valuecan-4-4-intrepidcs-api/setvcan4settings-method-intrepidcs-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
