Save a CAN Channel

You can save a CAN channel object to a file using the save function anytime during the

CAN communication session.

For example, create a channel object canch1. To save it to the MATLAB file

mycanch.mat, type:

save mycanch.mat canch1

Load a Saved Channel

If you have saved a CAN channel as a MATLAB file, you can load it into a session using

the load function. For example, to reload mycanch.mat created above, type:

load mycanch.mat

The loaded CAN channel object reconnects to the specified hardware and reconfigures

itself to the specifications when the channel was saved.

Filter Messages

You can set up filters on your channel to accept messages based on the filtering

parameters you specify. Set up your filters before putting your channel online. For more

information on message filtering, see these functions:

• filterAllowAll

• filterBlockAll

• filterAllowOnly

To specify message names you want to filter, create a CAN channel and attach a

database to the channel:

canch1 = canChannel('Vector','CANcaseXL 1',1);

canch1.Database = canDatabase('demoVNT_CANdbFiles.dbc');
