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.
Generic parameters
- Connector: A unique hardware identifier created by the system. To change the device or connector, select the channel and click
Change device.
- Name: The channel name must be unique and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<', '>').
- Description: Enter an optional detailed description of the channel.
- Collect: Select the Collect checkbox to write the channel data to the SIE data file during a test run.
- Measurand: Enter an optional measurement type.
- Data type: The format of the channel data output. Not in edit dialog.
CAN Message Channels
- Hardware interface: Value is CAN.
- Bit rate: Set the bit rate from the drop-down list of valid values. If the CAN bit rate is changed, all channels on the same port are changed to the same bit rate value automatically.
- Termination: Set the state of the internal termination resistor to true or false. If the termination state is changed, all channels on the same port are changed to the same state automatically.
