Vector CANtech CAN Database Import for CANbus Gateway Modules

The Vector database file import feature is an efficient way to configure the STACK Data Recording system to interface with a proprietary Vehicle CANbus protocol.

Importing the Vector CANtech database ensures that data from the vehicle CANbus is correctly interpreted with the correct message format.

Messages attributes managed by the import:

• Channel sort name alias
• Channel bit byte position
• Channel data size and type
• Byte order (Motorola / Intel format)
• Sign bit position & interpretation
• Channel value precision
• Peak (Min/Max value) channel monitor

Once a CANbus protocol has been successfully imported, then the Vehicle CANbus channels are selected in DataPro designer from a simple Channel pick list:

The imported CANbus protocol can be shared among any number of STACK data recording systems that are equipped with a CAN Gateway module.
