It is important to go to the CHANNELS view, and then press USED for the channels that you want to really
record and display next time you store data.
⇒ If you press USED only on the MESSAGES view, the actual message ID itself will be stored, but not the channel(s)
that it contains!!! Always go to CHANNELS view and press in USED for all channels that you want to display and
store.
After clicking CHANNELS, you will see a list of all of the channels contained within the various CAN mes-
sages that you have set up:
Make sure to press USED in on the channels that you want to store and display. We cannot emphasize that
enough.
OK, your CAN interface is set up.
When you save this Dewesoft SETUP, all of the CAN parameters are saved into the setup le, of course. But
sometimes it is useful to be able to save this CAN setup as a DBC le. This is possible, as described in the
next section.
Saving DBC les
Saving your CAN setup to a stand-alone DBC le requires a software option called DEWESoft-OPT-CAN-
OUT. This option is needed because the DBC le format is proprietary to Vector, a company not afliated
with Dewetron. With this software option, we include a license from Vector, which we purchase from them
and transfer to you, so that you gain the ability to export your CAN setup to a standard Vector DBC le. This
DEWEsoft-CAN-OUT option also includes the ability to transmit CAN messages onto the bus. Please see
