Therefore CANoe.MOST allows the import of an XML description of the function catalog.
This feature is used to display a disassembled view of the messages in the Trace
Window or to assemble frames with the Interactive Generator for MOST.
9.7.1 Function Catalogs in XML
The function blocks of MOST devices are described in XML Function Catalogs. CA-
Noe.MOST imports these function blocks from XML files. The structure of the XML
Function Catalog file is described in the Document Type Definition (DTD). Look at the
beginning of the XML Function Catalog file to determine the name of the DTD file. It
should be part of the tag . To work properly the XML Function Catalog
has to be consistent with Version 6.03 of the DTD of the MOST Coopera-tion. The
latest XML Function Catalog as well as the DTD is available in the member area of
the MOST Cooperation website (http://www.mostcooperation.com).
9.7.1.1 Using XML Function Catalogs in CANoe/DENoe
Similar to the usage of CANdb databases, the XML Function Catalogs can be assigned
to individual busses in the System View window of the Simulation setup.
Therefore, right-click on Databases in the System View window. Select Add in the
context menu. The Open File dialog appears, where the XML file can be selected
(choose file type *.xml).
CANoe/DENoe starts the import of the XML file as soon as the file is assigned to the
bus.
9.7.1.2 Setting disassembly mode
With CANdb and XML there are two sources for the description of MOST messages.
The key DisassemblyMode ([MOST] section) in the file CAN.INI (Exec32 directory
of your CANoe installation) controls which database should be used for message
disassembly in the Trace Window. The following modes are available:
0 CANdb only
1 XML Function Catalogs only
2 CANdb, XML Function Catalogs
(if CANdb does not describe the message, the XML Function Catalog will be
used)
3 XML Function Catalogs, CANdb
(if the message is not described in the XML Function Catalog, CANdb will be
used)
9.7.1.3 Validation
During the import, CANoe parses the XML file and validates its structure against the
DTD. In cases the XML does not match the DTD or the DTD file is unavailable the
import will stop.
However, to support as many function catalogs as possible, CANoe allows the usage
of XML files without DTD. Therefore, the following steps have to be performed:
