Message channels
Message channels are sourced from unit raw CAN messages or GPS raw NMEA sentences. Raw channels cannot be plotted or used as source channels for computed channels or DataModes™, but some message channels can be viewed or extracted using online or offline software.
Generic parameters
- Connection: A unique hardware identifier created by the system.
- Name: The channel name must be unique and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<' and '>'). Invalid channel names are 'true' and 'false' (case sensitive).
- 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.
- Network node: A CPU serial number shows for a module or camera channel's network node.
- Custom column information: For each column to be used, enter a unique name for the column header. Select either the “Text” or the “Numeric” sorting option.
CAN message channels
- Input mode: Value is always 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.
