the message to display signal details in the Signals table.

Name
Specify a name for your CAN message. The default is CAN Msg. This option is

unavailable if you choose to use signals from a CANdb file.
Identifier type

function. This option is available if you choose to input raw data or manually specify
signals.
Length (bytes)
Specify the length of your CAN message from 0 to 8 bytes. If you are using CANdb
specified signals for your data input, the CANdb file defines the length of your
message. If not, this field defaults to 8. This option is available if you choose to input
raw data or manually specify signals.
Remote frame
Specify the CAN message as a remote frame.
Signals Table
This table appears if you choose to specify signals manually or define signals using a
CANdb file.
If you are using a CANdb file, the data in the file populates this table automatically
and you cannot edit the fields. To edit signal information, switch to manually specified
signals.
