CAN Unpack
14-37
This option is available if you specify that your data is input via a CANdb file in the
Data to be output as list. Click Browse to find the CANdb file on your system. The
messages and signal definitions specified in the CANdb file populate the Message
section of the dialog box. The signals specified in the CANdb file populate Signals
table.
Note: File names that contain non-alphanumeric characters such as equal signs,
ampersands, and so forth are not valid CAN database file names. You can use
periods in your database name. Rename CAN database files with non-alphanumeric
characters before you use them.
Message list
This option is available if you specify that your data is to be output as a CANdb file
in the Data to be output as list and you select a CANdb file in the CANdb file
field. You can select the message that you want to view. The Signals table then
displays the details of the selected message.
Message
Name
Specify a name for your CAN message. The default is CAN Msg. This option is
available if you choose to output raw data or manually specify signals.
Identifier type
Specify whether your CAN message identifier is a Standard or an Extended
type. The default is Standard. A standard identifier is an 11-bit identifier and
an extended identifier is a 29-bit identifier. This option is available if you choose
to output raw data or manually specify signals. For CANdb-specified signals, the
Identifier type inherits the type from the database.
Identifier
Specify your CAN message ID. This number must be a integer from 0 through 2047
for a standard identifier and from 0 through 536870911 for an extended identifier. If
you specify –1, the block unpacks the messages that match the length specified for
the message. You can also specify hexadecimal values using the hex2dec function.
This option is available if you choose to output raw data or manually specify signals.
