Message channels

Message channels are sourced from CX23‑R raw CAN or AUX channels. Raw channels collect incoming messages in a binary message format. Raw channels cannot be plotted or used as source channels for computed channels or DataModes, but may be viewed or extracted using offline software.

NOTE
The MX471B-R CAN module does not support raw CAN message channels. For information on database channels, refer to CAN channels.
