Further signal attributes
The networks, nodes, messages and signals defined in a DBC file can possess additional attributes. Some of these attributes are evaluated by the supplement during the import. These are:
Object type | Attribute | Application |
---|---|---|
Network | ProtocolType BusType | The Prepared DBC Signals module additionally contains these variables:
|
Message | VFrameFormat | Used to distinguish between
|
GenMsgDelayTime GenMsgCycleTime GenMsgSendType | If a message is marked as "cyclic", then the GenMsgCycleTime is adopted as the Event Time in the PDO settings. The frame is thus cyclically transmitted. The value of GenMsgDelayTime is adopted as the Inhibit Time. | |
Signal | GenSigStartValue | The value specified under GenSigStartValue is used as the starting value (default value) of the signal. |
