must be subtracted from the result. The idle switch signal Idle Running in the last bit<br />

of the third data byte is a binary signal (one bit), which can assume the value 0 or 1.<br />

With the help of this symbolic information the data contents of messages can now be<br />

interpreted in <strong>CANoe</strong>. Please note that this only makes sense if the database information<br />

describes the system that you are currently observing. Of course, you can<br />

also associate a different database to <strong>CANoe</strong>. The observed CAN data traffic is then<br />

interpreted according to the information in that database, even if it does not make any<br />

sense. You yourself are responsible for ensuring that the database associated to the<br />

configuration matches the real CAN network.<br />

Messages that you generate in the two generator blocks can be interpreted with the<br />

database MOTBUS.DBC. Please note that the message you generated in the first task<br />

has the identifier 64 (hex). This agrees with the identifier of the message EngineData<br />

that we just examined in the database editor. If you now start the measurement, you<br />

can toggle the program to symbolic mode by activating the button.<br />

In the Trace window you will now see the symbolic message name in addition to the<br />

identifier.<br />

1.3.6 Analysis of Signal Values in the Data Window<br />

Besides the use of symbolic message names, the associated database can also be<br />

used to analyze signal values. The purpose of the Data window is to assist in the<br />

study of momentary signal values.<br />

This explains why the Data window is initially empty in a new configuration. The signal<br />

vlaues to be displayed are exclusively dependent upon information from the database.<br />

You as the user must decide which signal values should be displayed.<br />

Unit 3: Configure the Data window to display the signal values of the message<br />

EngineData (ID 64 hex) that is generated in the transmit branch.<br />

To solve this task, first open the Data window's popup menu and then start the configuration<br />

dialog. Initially, the signal list in this dialog is still empty. With the [New<br />

Signal] button you start the Signal Explorer, which makes it possible for you to select<br />
