Re: PE6, Macro, CANFD 64bytes, failed to fill data

To resolve this, first set the MsgType, then the DLC.

In your example, when you set the DLC to 10, the message is still a classic CAN message, for which a DLC value of 10 is allowed (although not recommended) but it still means a data length of 8 bytes. The internal data buffer is allocated ...

Re: Symbol CAN-ID as variable?

Hello,

Re: Encoding of symbol files

Hi,

Whether a symbols file is saved with UTF-8 encoding is determined automatically. You could add a Unicode character somewhere, such as the Comment field in Symbols properties, to force it to always be saved with UTF-8.

Re: How to DBC Import Signals and what are Variables good for anyway?

Good morning,

The DTCs and counters listed in the J1939 DTC Monitor are only cleared if the command to clear/reset DTCs is sent from the DTC monitor.

Re: Requesting Global Reset in Macro

But doing a global reset of active DTCs is just sending a global RQST (PGN 59904) for DM11 (PGN 65235), the same does the DTC monitor. When you send the command from the DTC monitor, you can see the generated message in ...

Re: PCANView Bug at program start

Hello,

I've never heard of such a bug in PCAN-View, and neither can I nor my colleagues reproduce it.

Which exact PCAN-USB driver version do you have installed, and which firmware version is your PCAN-USB or PCAN-USB Pro FD adapter using?

Are you sure that no other software runs in the background ...
