DBC: J1939 and Can Mix and Match

[jcarlini]

Currently our system is using Canalyser to verify and bug test our own CAN messages and generic J1939 error codes and DTCs and we were looking into migrating to PCAN-Explorer. What would be the recommended way to try and read the J1939 messages and CAN messages without switching between DBC files? Would it be more effective to rewrite everything for J1939 on the DBC level or whatever PCAN uses, or is there another more effective solution?

We have CANdb import, J1939, and Line Writer add-ons at our disposal, but if it's more effective to do some rewriting, I'm flexible.

With the J1939 AddIn you could communicate with a J1939 Network. It is also possible to be a real node with address claiming. You are free to enhance the J1939 Database which is part of the PCAN-Explorer AddIn , with your own Symbols or ENUM (for error codes ) etc. This is possible.
