Step 3: Loading the NTCAN API library
Next step is to load the NTCAN API library. This can be performed with the command line version or
the GUI-version of the RTX-tool
RTSSStart
. At the command line the following command has to be
executed:
rtssstart ntcan.rtss [Arguments]
If an error occurs at start the numeric error code is displayed in the RTX-text console and the RTSS-
process is terminated.
If an error occurs in the start sequence it can be checked with the RTX-task manager, respectively the
RTX-object viewer, if the driver is active.
2.7.4 Command Line Parameter for RTSS Device Driver
There are several command line options to configure the driver startup:
Option Argument Description

After the start the driver returns the version number in the RTX-console
and terminates immediately.
