Power Managers

Many desktop PC's have power managers. Power managers disable the CPU for a certain amount of
time. This impairs time management accuracy in your application. If you have stringent requirements for
your application time management (time-driven transmission of messages, time-driven evaluations), you
must deactivate these power managers. Options for power management may be included in:
• The BIOS setup,
• The Windows 98/2000/XP Control Panel (e.g. Power object).

4.5 Checking the Operation of the Hardware


A test to check the correct operation of the driver and hardware may be performed as described below.
This test is identical for Windows 2000 and Windows XP and is application independent. Verification of
hardware operation may also be conducted through the application.
Test of hardware and driver with Loop3.exe program:
For this function test two CAN Transceivers of the same Bus type are necessary (e.g. two Highspeed or
two Lowspeed).
1. If two Highspeed Transceivers (e.g. CANpiggy 251 oder CANpiggy 1041opto) are used, then the
two connections of the CANboardXL/pxi hardware - Channel1 and Channel2 - must be connected
with a CANcable1. With Lowspeed Transceiver use CANcable0.
2. This test program will access the card and send CAN messages.
3. Mark Channel1 and Channel2 of the hardware, which should be tested (Selected channels).
4. Adjust the appropriate baud rate (Settings) depending on the Transceiver used (Highspeed max:
1.000.000 Bd, Lowspeed max: 125.000 Bd).
5. Press the [Start] button.
6. If the system is configured correctly, statistic data of the hardware used appears in the lower
window of the test software (Figure 28).
7. By pressing the [Stop] button the test procedure stops and in the upper window a successful test is
confirmed with an OK message.

4.6 Troubleshooting Windows 98/2000/XP Installations


4.6.1 Verifying the Correct Installation of the MSMC104+ Device Drivers
For the execution of the following test units the MSMC104+ must be built in into the PC.
Open the Device Manager (Start | Settings | Control Panel | System | (Hardware) | Device Manager).
• Check to see whether the CANboardXL device is registered as a subgroup of the CAN-Hardware
(Windows98/2000/XP). If this device is not registered, either the device driver was not installed
correctly or it was not installed at all. Open the Other components item (it is marked by a yellow ?)
in the Device Manager. The driver has not been installed correctly if you will find the entry Vector
CANboardXL. Correct the driver installation as described in chapter 7.2.
• If you do not find the entries mentioned above, the device driver for the MSMC104+ has not yet
been installed.
4.6.2 Correcting an Unsuccessful Installation of the MSMC104+ Device Driver

The driver was not installed correctly if you find the entry Vector CANboardXL in the Device Manager
under the Other components entry (marked by a yellow ?).
In this case you have to update the driver.
• Open the Device Manager and double-click the line Other components to open it.
• Highlight the entry Vector CANboardXL and click Properties.
• Select the Driver page and click [Driver update…].
• Now follow the Windows instructions using the corresponding driver provided on the installation CD.
