NI Spy

NI Spy is a utility for monitoring NI-CAN API calls made by applications

without recompiling or rebuilding. It is ideal for testing application

functionality, troubleshooting problems, and verifying communication

with CAN devices. NI Spy dynamically captures and displays all NI-CAN

API calls made by applications running on the computer.
