Retrieve hardware type/ capabilities #1

Closed davidkirchner closed 1 year ago

davidkirchner commented 1 year ago

Hi, I am trying to retrieve the hardware type of a TsCANFD mini through the C/C++ TSCAN API. With the tscan_get_device_info function it is possible to read out the product name, but this is not specific enough in my case. I try to get the specific hardware type e.g. TC1011 or TC1013

In my case a TC1011 has the following output:

u32 ret = tscan_get_device_info(0, &manufacturer, &product, &serial);
printf(%s\n, product);

// output: TOSUN HS CANFDMini

The problem here is that Tosun offers many different TsCANFD mini devices which all have different capabilities. Some support only CAN, some CAN-FD and some other CAN-FD + FLEXRAY like shown on your website https://www.tosunai.com/en/product-category/hardware/can-tools/

So is there a way to either retrieve the specific hardware type or to read out the hardware capabilities (CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, FLEXRAY) without connecting to the device and using the tscan_get_X_channel_count functions?

There is a new API named "tscan_get_device_info_detail" can meet your requirement. It is released in July, 2023. function tscan_get_device_info_detail( const ADeviceIndex: u32; AManufacturer: PpansiChar; AProduct: pPansiChar; ASerial: pPansiChar; ADeviceType: PInteger; ADeviceName: PPAnsiChar; ACANChannelCount: PInteger; AIsCANFD: PBoolean; ALINChannelCount: PInteger; AFRChannelCount: PInteger; AEthernetChannelCount: PInteger ): u32; stdcall;

@TSSkyhits Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I could not find the DLL you mentioned. On the Tosun website I could only find a DLL from March 2022 in the libTSCan_sdk_cpp_api archive, in which the tscan_get_device_info_detail function is non-existent. I also could not find the tscan_get_device_info_detail function in the latest DLL from the libTSCANDemos repository (https://github.com/TOSUN-Shanghai/libTSCANDemos/tree/main/lib/windows/x64). Would it be possible to provide me with the DLL and the corresponding header file?

Thank you very much! The updated functions in the new DLL from your last commit solved the problem for me.
