13 Signal module: Analysis at signal level

In a CAN-message, a different number of individual values or "signals" can be transmitted. For the functional test of distributed systems, these individual signals are of particular interest, ideally already converted to physical and logical parameters.

This is the task of the Signal module. With this tool, therefore, not only the individual CAN-messages, but also the "signals" contained in the message are displayed.

In addition, the development over time of individual signals and their relation to other signals is often of interest. For this, the so-called Graphic module is provided in the canAnalyser.
So that the individual data contained in the CAN-messages can be interpreted as signals, i.e. can be converted to physical and logical parameters, a description of the signals is required both with in terms of their arrangement in the CAN-message and in terms of the data type or their coding. This is implemented with the so-called "database". This describes all data of a signal in terms of its coding in the CAN-message (Database editor).
