Working with the Module Tree 77

imc CANSAS module

CAN message

virtual channel

When a imc CANSAS module is deleted, all subordinate entries are also

deleted. In order to be deleted an entry must be selected. Multiple

entries can also be selected. When the <Del> key is pressed or the menu

item 'Edit/Delete' is selected, a prompt for confirmation is posted.

Deletion only takes place if the prompt is answered with 'Yes'.

Arranging input channels and virtual channels within messages

The manner of transmitting measurement values via the CAN-Bus is to be defined by assigning positions

within messages to the various channels' data.

The assigning process is accomplished in the Tree by the Drag & Drop method.

For this purpose, the Module Tree must be in the mode 'Grouped by Message'. Activating this mode is

done using the menu command 'View/Grouped by message'.

The defined CAN-messages are listed under the entry 'CAN-Bus Interface'. Under each CANmessage, the

channels whose signals are transmitted in this message are listed. The position within the message's

Tree-branch indicates its position within the message.

The bottom-most entry, entitled Without CAN-Bus message, comprises all channels not assigned to

messages; these will not be transmitted.

Only channels and virtual channels can be re-arranged.

The following Drag & Drop operations are supported:

Shifting channels from 'Without CAN-Bus message' into a CAN-Bus message

Shifting channels from a CAN-Bus message into 'Without CAN-Bus message'

Shifting channels from a CAN-Bus message into another CAN-Bus message.

Shifting channels from a CAN-Bus message into another position within the same message.

The Drag & Drop operation can only be conducted within the confines of a single module.
