CANoe DENoe - KEMT FEI TUKE

Figure 38: Dialog for configuring representation formats
These options affect the representation formats throughout the entire program.
Note: Please note that the numbering system in CAPL programs remains unaffected
by these options. Identifiers with the prefix 0x are interpreted as
hexadecimal values, analogous to the C programming language. Otherwise
the CAPL compiler always assumes that they are decimal numbers.
2.3 Working with Databases
When performing large-scale studies on the CAN bus, it is a great help to the user if -
in addition to the bus-oriented raw data format with numerical identifiers and data
contents - a symbolic interpretation of the message event is also provided.
CANoe supports the use of symbolic databases. You can make this information
available by associating one or more databases to the active configuration (Menu
item File│Associate database). Afterwards you can access the information in
measurement windows, insertable function blocks and CAPL programs.
In CANoe's symbolic mode you can address CAN messages and data contents by
the symbolic names of the associated databases. The sections below offer you instructions
which you should observe if you use databases when working with CANoe.
2.3.1 Creating and Modifying Databases
The CANdb++ Editor is available to you for inputting and modifying databases. It is
included with the standard CANoe product.
In a database, names are assigned to CAN messages. In CANoe you can then address
the messages using these names. For example, the clear text EngineData is
shown in the Trace window instead of the identifier 100.
