How do I create a generic j1939 application?

I am new to using IQAN Design and I have a J1939 CAN bus application that I need to create.

Basically I have two buttons that will control a J1939 linear actuator. When I press one button the actuator should retract and the other button extends the linear actuator. Each actuator is controlled over a CAN bus with a specific J1939 protocol that I will have to configure manually. I need some help getting started with this application. Thanks...
