Problem:
I need to change the baud rate of a port on my NI 9852 or 9853 CompactRIO CAN module from the default of 500 Kbps. How do I do this?

Solution:
How can I change the baud rate of a port on my NI 985x CompactRIO CAN module from the default of 500 Kbps?

A. To set the baud rate for a NI 985x module from the project complete the following steps:

1. Right-click on the module in the Project Explorer window for your project and select Properties. This will open the C Series Module Properties dialog box for the NI 985x module.
2. Select the CAN0 or CAN1 tab and select the desired baud rate from the Baud Rate listbox.
3. Click OK.

B. To change the baud rate programmatically:

Use a Bit timing FPGA I/O Property Node for the specified CAN port . To use this property, CAN communication must be stopped for the port, otherwise the property node will return an error.  An example implementation is shown in Figure 1.
