Custom CAN streams - saving to a .CANX file
A configured Message Object together with all CANbus input
channels can be saved into a .CANX file using a toolbar
button.
Sending frames by means of the CAN bus (CANbus export)
Access to the CAN bus in the ADU device is completely open, and allows sending any available
channel of the device. You can send frames of any CAN ID into one of two CAN buses.
The CANbus Export configuration pane is comprised of the following sections:
(1) Selection of the type of the data sent
There are four options available:
• 8bit unsigned - the value of the channel is
limited to a range of 0..255 and sent as a
single byte in a frame
• 8bit signed - the value of the channel is
limited to a range of -128..127 and sent as a
single byte in a frame
• 16bit big endian - the value is sent with the
most significant byte first, and least significant byte second (for example the value 0x1234
will be sent as two consecutive bytes 0x12, 0x34)
• 16bit little endian - the value is sent with the least significant byte first and most significant
byte second (for example the value 0x1234 will be sent as two consecutive bytes 0x34,
0x12)
(2) Selected channels or constants
You should select a channel from the list or enter a constant. In addition to the decimal notation, a
constant can also be saved in hexadecimal notation. For this, the prefix 0x should be used (e.g.
0xE3 or 0xe3).
(3) Selection of a multiplier or a raw value
It is possible to multiply the real values by a constant from the range of 1..1000 or, alternatively, to
send a raw value. For example - from the above figure:
