自定义通道名

CANlib v5.17的新功能之一是添加自定义通道名。在支持的设备?上，您就就可以识别出特定设备的通道。当启动云海游戏产品的时候，会显示一个新行，如图1所示。我们尚未分配任何自定义通道名称，因此云海游戏 产品显示为“ – ”。

图1：云海游戏产品现在可以显示自定义通道名

要分配新的自定义通道名，请使用setchannelname.exe工具?。该工具可以在您安装CANlib SDK的Bin目录中找到。我将CANlib SDK安装在了D:\CanlibSDK\CanlibSDK_5.17，
所以工具位置就在D:\CanlibSDK\CanlibSDK_5.17\Bin\setchannelname.exe。运行-h参数工具可打印使用帮助。

d:\>D:\CanlibSDK\CanlibSDK_5.17\Bin\setchannelname.exe --help
Channel naming utility for 云海游戏 AB products.
-h         --help    | Print this information.
-channel=X           | CANlib channel index
-name="ABc de"       | Name for selected channel.
-v                   | Verbose mode.
Example:
         setchannelname -channel=4 -name="Test unit 1"

因此，让我们为设备通道1设置自定义通道名。从图1可以看出，设备通道1可以使用CANlib通道0访问。让我们将此自定义通道名设置为“Backbone 2”。

D:\CanlibSDK\CanlibSDK_5.17\Bin\setchannelname.exe -channel=0 -name="Backbone 2"
echo

自定义通道名的最大长度因设备而异，但至少要有24个字节（包括空终止符）。

图2：自定义通道名现在设置为“Backbone 2”

为了读取CANlib中的自定义通道名，我们使用canCHANNELDATA_CUST_CHANNEL_NAME调用函数canGetChannelData()。参见下面清单1中的第39行。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <canlib.h>

void Check(char* id, canStatus stat)
{
  if (stat != canOK) {
    char buf[50];
    buf[0] = '

#include <canlib.h>

void Check(char* id, canStatus stat)
{
  if (stat != canOK) {
    char buf[50];
    buf[0] = '\0';
    canGetErrorText(stat, buf, sizeof(buf));
    printf("%s: failed, stat=%d (%s)\n", id, (int)stat, buf);
  }
}

void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  canStatus stat;
  int i, chanCount;

  canInitializeLibrary();

  stat = canGetNumberOfChannels(&chanCount);
  Check("canGetNumberOfChannels", stat);
  if (chanCount<0 || chanCount > 1000) {
    printf("ChannelCount = %d but I don't believe it.\n", chanCount);
    exit(1);
  } else {
    printf("%d channels.\n", chanCount);
  }

  for (i=0; i<chanCount; i++) {
    char name[64];

    printf("== Channel %d ===============================\n", i);

    stat = canGetChannelData(i, canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME, name, sizeof(name));
    Check("canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME", stat);
    printf("Channel name =          '%s'\n", name);

    stat = canGetChannelData(i, canCHANNELDATA_CUST_CHANNEL_NAME, name, sizeof(name));
    if (stat != canOk) {
      name[0] = '\0';
    }
    printf("Custom Channel name =   '%s'\n", name);
  }
}
';
    canGetErrorText(stat, buf, sizeof(buf));
    printf("%s: failed, stat=%d (%s)\n", id, (int)stat, buf);
  }
}

void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  canStatus stat;
  int i, chanCount;

  canInitializeLibrary();

  stat = canGetNumberOfChannels(&chanCount);
  Check("canGetNumberOfChannels", stat);
  if (chanCount<0 || chanCount > 1000) {
    printf("ChannelCount = %d but I don't believe it.\n", chanCount);
    exit(1);
  } else {
    printf("%d channels.\n", chanCount);
  }

  for (i=0; i<chanCount; i++) {
    char name[64];

    printf("== Channel %d ===============================\n", i);

    stat = canGetChannelData(i, canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME, name, sizeof(name));
    Check("canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME", stat);
    printf("Channel name =          '%s'\n", name);

    stat = canGetChannelData(i, canCHANNELDATA_CUST_CHANNEL_NAME, name, sizeof(name));
    if (stat != canOk) {
      name[0] = '
#include <stdio.h>
#include <canlib.h>

void Check(char* id, canStatus stat)
{

    char buf[50];
    buf[0] = '\0';
    canGetErrorText(stat, buf, sizeof(buf));
    printf("%s: failed, stat=%d (%s)\n", id, (int)stat, buf);
  }
}

void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  canStatus stat;
  int i, chanCount;

  canInitializeLibrary();

  stat = canGetNumberOfChannels(&chanCount);
  Check("canGetNumberOfChannels", stat);
  if (chanCount<0 || chanCount > 1000) {
    printf("ChannelCount = %d but I don't believe it.\n", chanCount);
    exit(1);
  } else {
    printf("%d channels.\n", chanCount);
  }

  for (i=0; i<chanCount; i++) {
    char name[64];

    printf("== Channel %d ===============================\n", i);

    stat = canGetChannelData(i, canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME, name, sizeof(name));
    Check("canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_NAME", stat);
    printf("Channel name =          '%s'\n", name);

    if (stat != canOk) {
      name[0] = '\0';

    }
    printf("Custom Channel name =   '%s'\n", name);
  }
}

清单1：读取自定义通道名简短实例程序。

运行上面的程序输出以下结果：

4 channels.
== Channel 0 ===============================
Channel name = '云海游戏 Memorator 2xHS v2 #1 (Channel 0)'
Custom Channel name = 'Backbone 2'
== Channel 1 ===============================
Channel name = '云海游戏 Memorator 2xHS v2 #1 (Channel 1)'
Custom Channel name = ''
== Channel 2 ===============================
Channel name = 'Virtual #0 (Channel 0)'
canCHANNELDATA_CUST_CHANNEL_NAME: failed, stat=-32 (Not implemented)
Custom Channel name = ''
== Channel 3 ===============================
Channel name = 'Virtual #0 (Channel 1)'
canCHANNELDATA_CUST_CHANNEL_NAME: failed, stat=-32 (Not implemented)
Custom Channel name = ''

要删除自定义通道名，您只需要写一个新的通道名。

希望此简短概述让您了解利用自定义通道名功能。
