John,
I don't know how you are going to use the T12, but a short while ago we
completed some testquipment using this device to measure torque and rpm.
I just looked into the forum before going on vacation for 2 weeks, so I can only give you some basic infos now:
For configuration we used the software tool from HBM that you mentioned
, the "T12 Assistant". This tool required a USB CAN-Adapter from PEAK
Systems.
The T12 can be accessed via the CANopen protocol. There is a manual
describing the Service-Data-Objects (SDOs) and Process-Data-Objects
(PDOs).
For our testequipment we used
- NI PCI-CAN/2 Hardware
- LabVIEW 7.1 and the
- NI-CanOpen-Library
to read the required Data as SDO objects.
Instead of using the CANopen-Library you could also code the required messages yourself, using the NICAN Channel- or Frame-API.
I hope this helps you to get started.
I shall be happy to try and answer any more specific questions when I return to work on October 15th.
