If the CAN-1 protocol is used, the CAN-Bus identifier of a CAN-Bus message must be specified. This
identifier should get high priority. The smaller the identifier, the higher its priority, e.g., 1. It isn't
necessary for this message to have the highest priority, but it should be relatively high. Note that the
identifiers which may be used for recognizing the imc CANSAS-modules (e.g. 2, 3 and 8 etc.) may not be
the same as the identifier for synchronization.
There are also additional options:
Always observe command messages: The messages are defined in the framework of the CAN-1
protocol. They enable the starting and stopping of measurements.
Wait for command message after setup: If this is selected, the imc CANSAS module doesn't start the
measurement right after booting. Instead it waits for a message which expresses the command
Start measurement. These messages are also defined by the CAN-1 protocol.
