To simplify CAN channel configuration, the CX23-R supports eDAQ CAN databases in a .txt format.
NOTE
Channels from eDAQ CAN database files are limited to CX23-R CAN sources only.
Navigate to the Databases page in the System configuration section.
Navigate to the Databases page in the System configuration section.
Browse for and select the .txt CAN database file. The file can be located on any local or external device.
To begin the import process, click Import. Once imported, the new database appears in the databases list. Select the file from the list to display the CAN channels.
NOTE
If the system encounters an error during import, none of the file contents are imported. If the system encounters a CAN signal that is not supported (or appears invalid for some reason), the system will reject that specific CAN signal and generate a warning in the Log file.
Navigate to the Input channels page of the Test configuration section and click Add. In the Hardware and setups panel, select the imported CAN database under the desired CAN connector. Select the CAN channels and click OK.
