TxMessagesEx Method - neoVI API

This method transmits longer messages asynchronously to vehicle networks using the neoVI hardware. Method supports CAN FD and Ethernet networks.

int _stdcall icsneoTxMessagesEx(void * hObject, icsSpyMessage *pMsg, int lNetworkID, int lNumMessages, int *NumTxed, int reserved);

Public Declare Function icsneoTxMessagesEx Lib “icsneo40.dll” (ByVal hObject As IntPtr, ByRef pMsg As icsSpyMessage, ByVal lNetworkID As Int32, ByVal lNumMessages As Int32, ByRef NumTxed As Int32, ByVal reserved As Int32) As Int32int _stdcall icsneoTxMessagesEx(void * hObject, icsSpyMessage *pMsg, int lNetworkID, int lNumMessages, int *NumTxed, int reserved);

Parameters

hObject

[in] Handle which specifies the driver object created by OpenNeoDevice

pMsg

[in] This is the address of the first element of an array of icsSpyMessage structures. This array will be loaded by the application software with messages that are to be transmitted by the hardware.

lNetworkID

[in] Specifies the network to transmit the message on. See NetworkID List for a list of valid Network ID values. Network support varies by neoVI device. NETID_DEVICE transmits on to the neoVI Device Virtual Network (see users manual).

lNumMessages

[in] Specifies the number of messages to be transmitted. This parameter should always be set to one unless you are transmitting a long Message. Transmitting long messages on ISO or J1708 is described in a different topic.

NumTxed

[out] Specifies the number of messages that have been transmitted.

reserved

[in] Reserved parameter for future use. Set to 0.

Return Values

Returns 1 if successful, 0 if an error occurred. GetLastAPIError must be called to obtain the specific error. The errors that can be generated by this function are:

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_ISOTX_DATA_BUFFER_ALLOC = 13

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_NEOVI_NO_RESPONSE = 75

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_ILLEGAL_TX_NETWORK= 90

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_3G_DEVICE_LICENSE_NEEDS_TO_BE_UPGRADED = 190

Remarks

This function call adds a transmit message to the transmit queue for CAN FD (more than 8 bytes) and Ethernet. The message will be transmitted when the network is free and all previously transmitted messages have been transmitted.

Transmit Report

After the messages has been transmitted there will be a transmit report message returned from the device. The transmit report will be read out with GetMessages. Any message read which has the SPY_STATUS_TX_MSG (icsSpyStatusTx) bit set in the status bitfield is a transmit report.

You can also identify a particular transmitted message with DescriptionID field. This two byte field (only 14 bits are used) allows the programmer to assign an arbitrary number to a message. This number is then returned in the transmit report.

The transmit report does not necessarily mean the message was transmitted successfully. For example, the Ford SCP network will return a Transmit Report if it had tried to send a message. Therefore, the programmer should always check the GlobalError Flag in the status bitfield.

To transmit different messages, set the appropriate bits in the status bitfield. For example, there are bits for init waveforms, extended identifiers and remote frames.
