PGN Input
Can you make the PGN input for a JFOUT be driven from a channel? I am trying to set up an external function for a device whose PGN is based on a NODE ID. Several of these devises can be used on the same bus and I would like to have an integer parameter to either change the node ID or the PGN itself in order to utilize one external function for all devices.

A work around for this is to use a Generic Frame Out. This will allow you to point the full 29-bit identifier to a integer parameter.
Thanks Edward. I will give that a try.
So this works, but doesn't work at the same time. Yes, I can calculate the 29-bit identifier and have a generic frame out. However, I can't attach that GFOUT to a J1939 device, so I have to create a new generic bus with a generic device. Now the problem is that I can't have a generic device and a J1939 device share a bus; even if the generic bus is set to 29-bit ID with the same baud rate as the J1939 bus. So I either have to convert everything else on the bus to generic or go back to my original problem of not being able to change the PGN. Either way is painful. I think generic and J1939 should be allowed on a same bus if the communication is the same.
