Virtual CPAD2 modules
If you remove a CPAD from the CAN bus it will not disappear but change into the virtual mode. They could be
still used in the setup but will not show any data. Immediately when you connect them again they will deliver
data again. That even works in the measuring mode. Virtual modules could be added and removed with the
buttons:

That could be used for:
Creating ofine setups without the hardware.
Creating a DBC le without the hardware.

Beside DEWESoft standard settings following, settings could be done in the channel setup:
CPAD2: The sampling rate could be changed from 0.1 S/sec to max. Max means approximately
12.5 S/sec. The status LED ashes with the sample rate during measurement.
CPAD3: The sampling rate could be changed from 0.01 S/sec to 100 S/s. The status LED ashes with
the sample rate during measurement.
If synchronized sampling is selected all CPAD2/CPAD3 modules acquire the data at the same time. Tue
to higher bus trafc only 5 S/second are possible in this mode.
Exporting a DBC will create a DBC le with the actual CPAD2/CPAD3 conguration. This allows you to
congure your CPAD2/CPAD3 modules and use them on an external CAN bus easily by importing the
DBC le.
