The basis for the interpretation and symbolic display of the data transmitted in
the CAN message is the project database. In this, a CAN message is first
assigned a name according to its identifier. The message can contain up to 64
individual data (signals). Each signal can be interpreted as an analog
information, digital information or string value:
|
"Analog signals" are described by their position in
the CAN-panel, length, data type and data format (Intel/Motorola), scaling,
offset, value range and physical unit. |
|
|
Individual values of "state signals" can be allocated
symbolic identifiers and displayed as text. |
|
|
"String signals" are interpreted as ASCII-string. |
The signals of a message are described in the project database in a specific
XML-Format.
Instructions on step-by-step creation of an example database can be found
here. Alternatively, this example database can also be found as
"SampleDB.xml" in the archive of the configuration files (Download here).
