– CAN Bus message object – a CAN message, where individual CAN frames will be
located. A CAN message object contains enough data for several individual messages.
– CAN Bus input – An input message used to receive and format data via CAN
– Table – a user definable table used to interpret data (e.g. transform an analog input voltage
into temperature)
– Switch – a switch input
– Number – enables you to define a mathematical function to convert variable values (e.g.
Converting a raw voltage from an analog input voltage to represent pressure)
– Function – enables you to create complex logic functions
– CAN Bus export - enables you to send CAN frames with variable and fixed values
– Page – a single page displaying data. If more pages are added, they can be switched on
and off or cycled through using conditional functions (warning page when a temperature or
pressure value is exceeded) or user switches (page up/down switches)
– Alarm - a display item showing any alarms, regardless of the current page
– Group – intended for grouping items. This allows for prioritization when working on larger
or complex projects.
– Import .CANX file – this function is used for downloading predefined CAN streams for
devices (e.g. EMU BLACK, MOTEC M1, etc.)
When adding items to a project take care to group them into logical categories. Attention should be
paid to giving proper names to items and variables to facilitate managing a project in the future.
You can also duplicate project items easily by means of the Duplicate button.
