System configuration > Databases
Databases are sets of pre-defined channels for hardware or connectors. The SomatXR system supports Vector CAN and HBM sensor databases.
The Database page displays all imported databases in a tree view and the summary data and channels of the selected database (screenshot). The summary contains some editable fields while the list of channels is always read-only. The channel list columns may be different depending on the database contents.
To import a database, click Import.
The SomatXR system supports Vector CAN database files (.dbc) and HBM sensor database files (.sdbx).
Browse for and select the .dbc database file. The file can be located on any local or external device. There is an option to Append message names to signal names. Selecting this option appends a double colon (::) followed by the message name to the signal name on import. Duplicate signal names are made unique by appending a sequential number preceded by the pound sign (#).
To begin the import process, click Import. Once imported, the new database displays in the databases list. Select the file from the list to display the CAN channels.
NOTE
Only the file contents and not the actual database loads on the CX23-R device. If the system encounters an error during import, none of the file contents are imported.
Browse for and select the .sdbx 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 displays in the databases list. Select the file from the list to display an overview of the database and the number of supported and unsupported sensors.
NOTE
Future CX23-R firmware versions may support more sensors. The HBM sensor database does not need to be re-imported to use newly supported sensors.
To delete a database, select the desired database and click Delete. Deleted databases cannot be restored.
