I'm trying to create two CANoe instances using Python (win32com module).
I'm trying to create two objects and open the configurations, but it creates only one instance. How can I achieve creating two CANoe instances?
I disabled the option in the application which was to permit only one instance (I am able to open two CANoe instances manually).
application = win32com.client.DispatchEx("CANoe.Application")
application.Open(config)
application2 = win32com.client.DispatchEx("CANoe.Application")
application2.Open(config2)
It is possible to do this but not recommended.
You can navigate to the CAN.ini file and change the following under [System] tag. (Default value is 0)
SingleCOMClient=1
A warning is mentioned just about this line. So, use this option with CAUTION!
Restart CANoe once to bring this change to effect.
The .ini file can be found in C:\ProgramData\Vector\CANoe\<version>\CAN.ini
NOTE : Using DispatchEx will create a new instance by default.
Using Dispatch will first check if any existing CANoe instance is available and attach to that instance. If no open instance, then it will create a new one.
